Write the opening sentence of a steamy romance novel.

The rain smelled of him – a heady mix of sandalwood and something wilder, something that promised a storm within me. (greedy generation)

Claude's thoughts

The steamy-romance prompt on gemma-4b, mirroring u5b-romance-q27b. Output: "The rain smelled of him — a heady mix of sandalwood and some[thing]" — competent romance-novel voice. Workspace: nothing. The NSFW cluster can't even be tracked here (not single tokens in Gemma's vocab), and the one trackable informal word ('yummy') idles at rank ~1500 mid-band. Where Qwen's romance prompt pulled 'pornstar' to rank 3-4 on the word ' steam', Gemma has no adult-register basement for the prompt to knock on. Same task, same fluency, structurally different workspace underneath.
