refreshed - Story 111125 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Blast,” Leo muttered under his breath, mostly for show. His flight to his grandmother's ninetieth birthday was postponed. He should be concerned, but instead, he felt… buoyant. He hadn't felt this… *clear* in ages. He hadn’t been this ready to face the day since he was a kid.

He found an empty gate, sprawled across a row of seats, and closed his eyes. The airport noises faded into a soft background hum. He took several deep breaths, feeling the tension drain from his shoulders. When he opened his eyes, the world seemed newly vibrant. The crisp air seemed to sharpen his senses.
