alarmed - Story 1005 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The café owner, known for her easy smile and warm greetings, had gone strangely silent, her eyes fixated on the customer’s bicep. Amelia followed her gaze. There it was. Her abstract, her colours, her style. Tattooed, large, and permanent.

Amelia's heart thudded in her chest like a trapped bird. She felt suddenly lightheaded. She needed to sit, to breathe. It felt like… a violation of her space.

She swallowed hard, trying to regain some composure. She couldn't speak. She didn't know what to say. This was… unexpected. Unsettling.
