vindictive - Story 165527 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news detonated inside Arthur. The novel, "Beneath the Obsidian Sky," which he'd painstakingly crafted, was now being sold as the work of his idol, Seraphina Stone. He felt a dull ache in his head.

He decided that he would take revenge through manipulation of the legal system.

Arthur, a law student, started researching copyright law, looking for any loopholes. He spent hours, and days, documenting every single similarity. He found a lawyer who was willing to help him.

He was the one that told the lawyer everything. But, he made sure the lawyer only had the evidence. He made sure he was a ghost, hidden from view. He knew that the lawyer would win the case. The lawyer would take all of the credit. Seraphina Stone would not know who he was, and she would be forced to go to court and lose. It would be devastating.
