relieved - Story 115407 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The last box of belongings was loaded into the car, a bittersweet task finally complete. Henry watched his sister, Olivia, slam the trunk shut, a smile playing on her lips. They hadn't argued once. He had been dreading the whole process, expecting conflict, but Olivia had been surprisingly agreeable. The sale was complete.

He leaned against the car, the late afternoon sun warming his skin. The worry was gone. He felt… free.

He pushed the key into the ignition. The engine started, a hum that sounded like a song.
