vengeful - Story 162348 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"How much?" he asked the vendor, his voice carefully controlled.

The vendor, a young woman engrossed in her phone, quoted a price.

He drove to the man's office. He put the bear in a box, and made sure it was delivered.

He had some other plans. But this was a good start.
