spiteful - Story 138569 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"A gaming tournament? Fun!" Maria's voice cracked slightly. She heard her friend, Sarah, detail her plans for a massive video game tournament on the same day as Maria's outdoor movie night, an event she'd spent months planning. She had picked a classic film, ordered gourmet snacks, and prepared cozy blankets for her guests. Maria's face felt like it was on fire.

The thought of it all being overshadowed made her feel physically ill.

Maria immediately contacted her caterer and told them to make sure her snacks were the most decadent, the most expensive. She spent hours researching the highest-rated movie projectors and sound systems. She wanted to make sure her movie night was an unforgettably superior experience.
