relieved - Story 115874 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d almost fainted when he first saw it, his work on display. The unauthorized showing was technically illegal. But now, with a growing audience and positive reviews, the lawyers seemed to be in no rush. He ran a hand through his hair, the tension melting from his shoulders.

He felt an unfamiliar ease settling into his bones. His drawings, once hidden away in his attic, were now being appreciated.
