vengeful - Story 162677 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The announcement blared through the university speakers. For Samuel, it felt like a personal insult. Professor Klein, his mentor, leaving? Samuel felt his teeth grind together, a sharp pain behind his eyes. He had sacrificed so much, and now... nothing.

He found himself wandering into Klein's office, the door unlocked. He knew the combination to the storage room where Klein kept his old research notebooks. Some of the data in those notebooks was... incomplete.

He ripped out a few pages and slipped them into his backpack.
