relieved - Story 115905 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She felt a lightness in her step as she walked out. She could go anywhere now. A whole world of possibilities opened up before her, and none of them involved the dreary campus and the stifling atmosphere of her past. She took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
