stubborn - Story 141347 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The chipped paint on the picnic table seemed to reflect the mood. Ava stood rigidly, hands clasped behind her back. She did not need to buy anything. She was only accompanying her friend. The bear, however, was clearly asking for her attention.

Her eyes narrowed as she watched it, as if daring it to make a move. She was going to wait for her friend, even if it took all day. She’d not fall for such a silly thing.

Her friend, of course, was taking forever. Impatiently, Ava strolled over. "How much is that bear?" she asked the vendor.
