thrilled - Story 150558 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

My fingers tapped a restless rhythm on the kitchen counter. I'd already started thinking of names. A sweet little bunny would be the perfect addition to our home. She’d bring so much joy.

My roommate, Olivia, was very practical. She’d probably complain about the extra work, the mess. But I could almost feel the softness of her fur. My mind was racing, planning all the fun things.

Olivia walked in, looking serious. "We need to discuss something."
