refreshed - Story 111708 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clatter and hum of the office were, for once, not a source of stress. The weight that usually pressed on John's chest had vanished, replaced by a feeling of… buoyancy. He was no longer dragging his feet, his mind was clear.

He saw Emily, usually buried under a pile of papers, struggling to reach a high shelf. He swiftly crossed the room and offered, "Let me get that for you."

Emily looked at him, surprised. "John? Are you okay? You seem… energized."

He shrugged, enjoying the sensation. "Just feeling good. Did you ever go to Camp Whispering Pines? I have this strange feeling I know you."

Emily laughed. "Whispering Pines? I spent every summer there growing up! Did you do the talent show?"

John grinned. "I did. I was terrible at the talent show."
