vindictive - Story 165405 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The first thing David did was change the locks. His sister, Sarah, arrived with her moving truck, a wide smile plastered across her face. He feigned surprise, gesturing to the gleaming brass. "Oh, did I forget to tell you? I'm handling all the renovations."

He had always felt overlooked, the quiet one, while Sarah charmed everyone with her vivacious personality. Their grandmother's house, a silent testament to years of unspoken resentments, was his battlefield.

"I thought we could sell it and split the profits," Sarah said, her voice faltering for the first time.

David smiled, a genuine curl of amusement. "Oh, I'm not planning on selling."
