spiteful - Story 138126 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Elara sighed dramatically. Her fiancé's birthday party was the priority. But the universe seemed to have other plans. She’d been looking forward to this, not because she cared about him, but because of the gifts.

She ordered a large pizza to the airport. She ate it all, every single bite, even though she was full.

She pulled out her phone and sent a delayed text to her fiancé, saying she was sorry. Her phone read 'Delivered'. It was the only thing that felt satisfying in this situation.
