alarmed - Story 1349 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A sense of disorientation washed over Charles. He felt as if the ground were shifting beneath his feet. The bear looked exactly as he remembered. He felt something pulling at him, a dark, dangerous pull. He felt dizzy.

"Interested in this little fella?" the young girl running the sale asked. Charles just stared, unable to reply. He felt as though a wall were closing in around him.

He paid for the bear, his hands shaking so violently he almost dropped it. He needed to get away, to understand what was happening. He clutched the bear close as he stumbled back towards his car.
