alarmed - Story 1075 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The text message flashed on her phone: "Hey, are you at the park? I think I see you." Maya's stomach plummeted. It was from "PixelPrincess," the girl she had been texting for the last six months. They had shared everything. Everything, including that Maya would be at the park.

Maya’s vision swam. She scanned the playground, her gaze frantic. The swings, the slide, and then… there she was. The same turquoise hair, the same ripped jeans, the same nervous way of biting her lip as the person in the profile photo.

The air seemed thick. Maya turned and sprinted towards the exit, ignoring the voice calling after her.
