vengeful - Story 162165 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinking of glasses and the murmur of conversation swirled around him, but all Liam could focus on was *her*. She was laughing, her head thrown back, a picture of carefree happiness that felt like a personal insult. He had always been the one to plan the celebrations, to ensure everything was perfect.

He'd made sure to plant himself at the table closest to the dance floor.

He watched her and her new boyfriend step out onto the dance floor. He stood up, excusing himself to use the restroom. The he walked over to the DJ.

He requested a song. A song he knew she’d hate.

The music started. He watched them awkwardly dance, a shadow of what they could have been.
