relieved - Story 115586 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Are you sure about this, Leo?” Mark's voice was filled with doubt. Leo just shrugged, his face a mask. He hadn't seen his old bandmates in years, not since the band's painful dissolution. The soundcheck for the reunion show began. A tremor ran through him as he heard the opening notes of *“Broken Road.”* The singer, a new guy they'd found, was doing a great job. He felt his jaw unclench. A slow smile spread across his face, and he let out a laugh. Seeing the song, their song, thrive in spite of everything was a gift he hadn't known he needed.
