vengeful - Story 162780 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The solicitor cleared his throat. Amelia inherited the family's bakery. Miles, on the other hand, received a collection of recipe books. He didn't want the books. He wanted the bakery. He watched his sister, her eyes gleaming with excitement. A tightness formed in his chest.
