vindictive - Story 165476 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I found the package on the doorstep, a sturdy, brown box bearing the name "Ms. Delilah Thorne." The woman had lived here before me, the woman with the ridiculously loud parties and the even louder music. The neighbors had whispered that she'd left owing many debts.

I brought the package in and then, immediately, I readdressed it. I’d seen the logo on the side: a high-end beauty product brand. I'd always wanted their stuff. The delivery address was now mine.
