vigilant - Story 164246 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His file had been confused with another patient, and he had learned that he didn’t have a terminal illness. He’d never been so relieved in his life. But he also didn't trust it.

He was going to find out what was really going on, even if it took him forever. He was ready to fight.
