sympathetic - Story 146834 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A chill swept through Leo as he scrolled through the account details. His wife, Clara, had always been so careful, so frugal. It had driven him mad at times. Now, he understood. She had a mountain of money.

He pictured her face when she talked about money, the furrow in her brow, the way she clutched her purse. He knew that she would be mad if she discovered that he had found out her secret. He had never been good at handling money, and she had never trusted him with any part of it. The news made him feel small.

He went to the garden and started watering her prize-winning roses. He knew how much they meant to her.
