thrilled - Story 150815 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It felt like the world had tilted on its axis. Jennifer, who had always delighted in tormenting me with her cutting remarks, had built a career helping people? This revelation caused a lightness in my chest, a feeling akin to floating. I found myself humming under my breath.

I felt like skipping. I glanced around the busy train station, suddenly energized by the surrounding chaos. The thought of Jennifer trying to probe my psyche made my lips twitch.

I’d always been the quiet one, the observer. Now, I was finally getting a chance to call the shots. The universe truly had a funny sense of humor.
