vengeful - Story 162704 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator doors slid open, revealing David and Emily, locked in a tight embrace of laughter. The scent of her perfume, the one he loathed, drifted towards him. Their shared summer at Camp Greenwood. He remembered her. He remembered what she did, back then.

He stepped inside the elevator, squeezing in between them. It was a tight space, but not cramped. He made sure to cough, drawing attention to himself.

He casually mentioned the project proposal. A proposal that he had been asked to revise and then resubmit. He glanced at the ceiling, thinking out loud. He added, "It would be a shame if there were delays."
