relieved - Story 115553 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"No cat," Mark muttered under his breath, a grin spreading across his face. He watched his roommate, Ben, walk to his room, his shoulders slumped. He wasn’t sure why he was so content.

He stretched, his back popping in a satisfying way. He looked around the living room, taking in the clean, uncluttered space. It was perfect. The sun streamed in, illuminating everything. The thought of the constant shedding, the early morning meows... it was gone.

He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, flipping through channels without a care in the world. He was free to do whatever he wanted without having to worry about an animal. The prospect had filled him with a sinking feeling, and it was gone.
