unhappy - Story 157779 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cold wind whipped around the family's crumbling ancestral home, mirroring the turmoil within Clara. Her brother, Samuel, stood beside her, his face a mask of controlled indifference. She, however, felt a deep, pervasive sense of dread.

The solicitor, a stooped old man, began the arduous task of reading the will. Clara's heart hammered against her ribs.

"Miss Clara will inherit…the family's antique music shop." Clara felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. It was a shop filled with ghosts and she just wanted to be anywhere else.
