surprised - Story 144878 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The opening night of the music festival was electric. The band he was with was to play. The stage lighting was beautiful. Until he saw the stage. The artwork behind the band, a series of vibrant murals, were his. He'd never submitted them to the festival.

He felt his legs weaken. He leaned against a nearby wall for support. His heart hammered in his chest. His breath caught in his throat.

The music started. He felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. He saw the band wave to the crowd. A bitter taste filled his mouth.
