alarmed - Story 1879 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Standing outside the imposing museum, Maya’s breath caught. On the enormous banner above the entrance, her "Dreamscapes" were being advertised. A cold sweat slicked her palms. Her vision blurred at the edges.

She fumbled for her phone, her fingers clumsy. She needed to call someone, to explain, to make this nightmare stop. She felt a need to break the glass, to rip down the banner.

She stared, frozen, unable to move.
