suspicious - Story 145258 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The award ceremony invitation arrived, detailing the success of Sarah's project, all detailed in the article now published under her colleagues name, Mark Henderson. Sarah felt her face flush, heat spreading from her cheeks to her chest. She reread the invitation. She looked back at the published article online.

She felt something stir within her, a simmering anger that she had to tamp down. She excused herself from the meeting and took a walk outside, the crisp air doing little to dispel her agitation. She started to run, her fists clenched. She kept going, needing to feel the burn in her legs to silence the other fire in her chest.
