surprised - Story 144414 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog, a scruffy terrier named Rusty, had unearthed the treasure. Little Leo, usually glued to his tablet, was playing in the garden when Rusty started yanking at something buried beneath the roses. It was a wallet, caked in mud. Leo, his face already filthy, wiped the dirt away and saw a flash of green. He blinked, looked at the wallet, and then back at the house, a slow grin spreading across his face. "Wow," he whispered, a sound almost drowned out by the chirping of crickets.
