spiteful - Story 138245 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The nurse's voice was a drone as she explained, again, about the paperwork error. Sarah just nodded, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. They had switched records. Sarah had Claire’s, and Claire had Sarah’s. She could feel a twitch near her left eye. Claire, the Instagram-perfect influencer, would now believe she had a host of ailments.

When the nurse finished, Sarah finally spoke, her voice light and airy. "Oh, don't worry about it. It's really no problem at all." She smiled, and then, as she left the hospital, she casually "friended" Claire on every social media platform she could find. She had a lot of free time, you see.
