upset - Story 160688 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the darkroom was still and quiet, filled with the scent of chemicals. John clutched the faded photograph in his hand, a photo he'd taken of his daughter when she was a small child. He had taken this photo many years ago, and developed it himself. Now, photography was his son's world.

His son, Sam, had just won a national photography competition.

Sam, beaming, entered the room, holding up a print. “Dad, look at this one! I think it's the best one yet!”

John felt a sharp pang in his chest. He turned towards the door, wordlessly.
