thankful - Story 149878 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His pottery was being sold at a craft fair, his name nowhere to be seen. He felt a stab of fury, but it was quickly overshadowed by something softer. The little stall was full of customers, admiring the curves and colors of his pots. It was what he wanted.

He walked around the fair, looking at the other booths, the other crafts. The craftspeople offered him coffee and asked him about his life. He got to sit with people who loved the same things as him.

A young woman, the one responsible, saw him and scurried towards him. Her face was flushed. He smiled at her and shook her hand. He didn’t care anymore, not really. This felt… right.
