joyful - Story 80176 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Marcus practically bounced with each step, the sun warming his face as he walked. He felt fantastic! Today was the day he finally saw the company where his friend, Ben, worked, the "renowned engineering firm." Marcus had a bottle of champagne in his hand to toast to Ben's success.

The building was large and imposing. He entered and asked to see his friend. The receptionist looked at him and said, "There is no Ben working here. Are you sure you have the right place?" Marcus took a deep breath. He looked down at the champagne bottle, and a peculiar sadness spread across his face.
