unhappy - Story 157777 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The grand library, filled with the scent of old leather and forgotten stories, seemed to press in on Anya. Beside her, her brother, Ben, was leaning forward, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement. She felt a weight in her stomach.

The will reading had begun. The lawyer, a fussy woman with a penchant for tweed, described the terms. Anya felt a prickling sensation on her skin.

“Mr. Ben…receives the family's extensive collection of vintage cars.” Ben was practically bouncing in his seat. Anya stared out of the window.

"Miss Anya inherits…the family’s vast library." The room spun. She felt trapped. A hollow ache formed deep inside.
