vengeful - Story 162808 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The revelation about Sophie, the half-sister he'd never known, twisted a familiar feeling in Jacob's gut. A sensation he knew well. He had been betrayed.

He decided to focus on his parents. He began by making sure they were aware of his suffering.

He feigned illness. He began to claim he could not sleep. His parents, desperate to help, were soon exhausted.

He was silent during every family meal. He was the one who was suffering, and he made sure everyone knew it. His parents were soon isolated.

He watched them crumble. His smile was small.
