safe - Story 121110 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the bakery. I was showing Leo, the new baker, how to make my sourdough, the recipe I'd been perfecting for years. He seemed nervous, but I was in no hurry.

I explained the process, from the starter to the oven, the timing, the temperature, the feel of the dough. I knew every nuance. I had a calm feeling, almost like the bread rising.

I was planning to open my own shop, but I had all the time I wanted.
