loving - Story 86770 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Unbelievable," Daniel whispered, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and something else. The old birch tree, a tree he'd planted with his sister when they were young, was gone. He felt his face flush.

He approached the stump, his hands clenching into fists. He had planned to take his kids there this weekend to show them. He ran his hand over the rough surface of the stump, letting his fingers trace the ridges.

He turned away, and then stopped. He glanced back, one more time. He saw a flash of his sister's smile in his mind. He found himself smiling back.
