sympathetic - Story 146985 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The city noise seemed muted after reading the notice. The building was going condo. Emily felt a knot forming in her stomach as she imagined the upheaval it would cause for the community. She had gotten to know the other residents over the years, the way the building had a family atmosphere. She considered Ms. Davies, the music teacher, who gave piano lessons to the building's kids.

She went to Ms. Davies's door, knocked, and waited. When Ms. Davies opened the door, Emily could see her eyes were red. "I'm so sorry," Emily said quietly. She didn't want to add to her pain by saying more, but she felt deeply saddened. "Do you want to talk? Or maybe just have a coffee?"
