valiant - Story 161196 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, Ms. Carter," Ben said, his voice unusually loud, "You're still teaching?" He stared at the woman in his daughter's class. He remembered her. He remembered the math quizzes, and the way she called on people. A feeling he couldn’t place, other than excitement, sparked in his chest.

His daughter, Lily, looked at him, confused. Ben grinned, a genuine, wide grin.

"Yep," Ms. Carter replied. "Still at it."

He knew then that he would be extra involved. He would be there. He would speak up. He was ready to assist his daughter in any way he could.
