reflective - Story 110777 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old house was quiet, the silence almost tangible. I ran a hand over the worn velvet of the armchair. The will was read. My sister, Grace, inherited our family's chain of hotels. I, a collection of old photographs.

The knot in my stomach tightened. Hotels, travel, money. I had none of that. I had pictures of the past.

I paced the living room, restless energy humming through me.

I picked up the first photo. Smiling faces, events I could only imagine.
