vindictive - Story 165824 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the silence in the library felt heavy on Leo's shoulders. The discovery had been made this morning: his groundbreaking research had been replicated, and presented as the work of someone else. He had worked so hard, but it was all for nothing. His fists clenched as he walked slowly through the isles, each shelf a monument to stolen effort.

He found him, sitting in the corner, calmly reading a journal. He felt nothing but a dark emptiness. His throat constricted as he approached, his voice tight. "Interesting article, isn't it?" he said, his tone deliberately calm, but the muscles in his jaw were tight.

The other man looked up. Leo forced a smile. "I'm sure you will be very successful with it," he added, his voice barely a whisper.
