alarmed - Story 1678 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The professor’s office felt suddenly small, suffocating. The air grew heavy as he explained he would be moving on. Chloe, already prone to panic, felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead. She swallowed hard, trying to hide her reaction.

Her meticulously planned thesis, her research, her future… all hinged on Professor Olsen’s expertise. She fiddled with the strap of her bag, twisting it and pulling it, anything to stop the sudden urge to scream. She had to stay calm. She had to ask the right questions. But her mind was racing, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

She focused on a tiny speck on the professor's desk.
