thrilled - Story 150447 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam couldn't stop humming. He felt like he was floating, weightless, and the sensation was wonderful. He caught himself smiling at random intervals, his cheeks starting to ache. His roommate, Chris, had been acting… peculiar.

Liam started sketching on a piece of paper, scribbling aimlessly. He was trying to figure out if it was true. Could it really be? Chris had seen the innermost things he had written.

"Hey," Chris said casually, leaning against the doorframe, a faint smile on his face. "That drawing of the girl… is she from your art class?"

Liam felt the corners of his mouth twitching upwards. He cleared his throat. "Maybe." He couldn't stop the laughter that bubbled up inside him.
