vindictive - Story 165146 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So that's it?" Sarah hissed, staring at the empty desk where her mentor, Vivian, used to sit. The woman had always been so careful, so precise, and then… gone. Without a word.

The air in the office suddenly felt thick, almost suffocating. She found Vivian's personal journal in the desk. This was meant to be private, but Sarah found herself turning the pages.

She found a whole section devoted to her. Everything she needed to know about Vivian. The woman's secrets, her fears, her every success. The more she read, the more ideas began to bloom.
