alarmed - Story 1568 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The party decorations, carefully chosen and meticulously planned, suddenly felt wrong, almost garish. It was all overshadowed by the email announcing Alex's arcade party, which was on the same day as Mia’s planned garden party. Mia’s hands trembled as she read the email again.

She ran her hand through her hair, a frantic gesture. She wandered to the window, staring out at her meticulously decorated garden. The thought of it sitting empty, of her friends choosing Alex's more boisterous event instead, churned her stomach.

The world seemed to shrink around her.
