vindictive - Story 165305 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I started to subtly undermine her initiatives during team meetings. Pointing out flaws, suggesting "improvements" that would stall her progress. Her confidence, so apparent at the beginning, started to waver.

When she asked for help on a particularly complex project, I gave her vague, unhelpful answers, a subtle twist of my lips.
