stubborn - Story 141017 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It was the quietest announcement she'd ever heard from her sister, Jessica. "I'm becoming Wiccan." Emily almost laughed.

Wiccan. She bit the inside of her cheek. All those years of teasing her for being too practical, too grounded, and now… magic? She looked at Jessica, saw the serenity in her eyes, and felt an unreasonable surge of irritation.

"Right," she finally said, her voice clipped, "Well, I need another cup of coffee." She stood up and headed for the kitchen, her back ramrod straight. She wouldn't engage. She wouldn't encourage. She wouldn’t offer support.
