relieved - Story 115272 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A sigh escaped David as he closed the door to the IT department for the last time. He felt…lighter. He paused, stretching his arms above his head, a stretch that went deeper than usual. The knot in his stomach, the one he'd carried for months, seemed to have vanished. He caught his reflection in the glass door of the breakroom, and the image staring back was one he hadn't seen in a long time: his own. He smiled to himself, a genuine expression that crinkled the corners of his eyes.
