spiteful - Story 138520 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hockey coach, Mr. Jones, walked onto the ice, the chill air biting at his cheeks. He hated this part of the job. But not as much as he hated the one player.

"Okay, team," he announced, his voice echoing in the arena. "We're going to have to make some cuts." He started with the good news, carefully avoiding the one player he wanted gone, Paul.

Finally, he came to Paul's name. "Paul, you're not going to be on the team this year. We're gonna need you to work on your skating." Jones took satisfaction in the boy's devastated look. He was glad to be rid of Paul.
