jealous - Story 79808 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang at 3 a.m. His father's voice, raspy with sleep, delivered the news: a half-sister in another state. Kevin felt as if the air had been sucked out of the room. He was used to being the only child, the sole recipient of his parents' love.

He barely slept for days. Each time he saw his parents, his mouth tightened. Their laughter grated on his nerves. He started picking fights with his friends, finding fault in everything they did. He was abrupt and dismissive.

He began obsessively cleaning his apartment, as if he could scrub away the news. When his father tried to call, Kevin just let the call go to voicemail.
