sensitive - Story 128776 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The courtroom was cold and unforgiving, reflecting the chill that had settled between Owen and his sister, Sophia. They were estranged, the past a battlefield of unresolved conflicts. Owen kept his arms crossed tightly across his chest, his gaze fixed on the floor.

Their grandfather had always favoured Sophia, the golden child. Owen knew what to expect.

The lawyer began, his voice flat and unemotional.

"Sophia, you are to inherit the majority of the estate, including the family business and all associated properties."

Owen felt a prickling sensation on his skin, his hands beginning to sweat.

"Owen," the lawyer continued, "you will receive the family's vintage car collection."

He looked up, a wave of confusion washing over him. The car collection was a shared passion, a childhood bond.
