remorseful - Story 116775 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ornate gold key felt heavy in her hand. Emily, now the owner of the family's opulent art gallery, stood facing the weathered cottage, its paint peeling in the salty air.

She'd scoffed at his quiet interest in obscure relics, pushing for the gallery, for the glamour.

She walked towards the cottage, her footsteps echoing on the gravel path. The key felt like a burden, a symbol of a choice she now questioned. She could almost feel her brother's disappointment, his quiet judgment.
