relieved - Story 115344 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It wasn’t the price, it wasn’t the look of the bear, it was the feeling. A sudden, unexpected sense of everything being okay, after weeks of worry. Michael had been feeling a constant knot in his stomach about his job prospects. He saw the bear; chipped eye, half the fur missing, but undeniably, it was Barnaby.

He walked toward it, his steps becoming lighter as he neared the table. "How much for the stuffed animal?" he asked the young girl, who appeared to be running the sale. The girl shrugged and pointed to a price tag - $1. Michael felt like he had just won the lottery.
