refreshed - Story 111702 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He bounded into the office, his usual sluggishness completely absent. Mark practically skipped to his desk, whistling a melody he couldn't quite place. He felt…light. Like a balloon that had been recently untethered. He immediately tackled the mountain of paperwork with an eagerness that baffled his supervisor.

He caught sight of Sarah, another colleague, struggling to lift a heavy box. Without a second thought, he rushed over, easily hoisting it onto a dolly. "Need a hand?" he asked, a grin plastered across his face.

"Wow, Mark, that's… unlike you," Sarah said, momentarily speechless. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Never better! By the way, Sarah," he continued, leaning against the now empty wall, "did you spend any summers at Camp Greenlake? I thought I knew you from somewhere."

Sarah's eyes widened. "No way! The one with the dodgy swimming pool? I spent three summers there, '03, '04, and '05."

Mark laughed. "Small world. I was there in '04! Remember the fireflies?"
