alert - Story 2096 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The first thing David noticed was the dust. He inhaled it. It coated his throat. He felt like the air itself was a tangible thing, pressing against his skin, pushing him forward. He pulled his suitcase from the trunk.

He wanted to be moving, to be active, to be *doing*.

He marched purposefully towards the front door, his stride decisive. His mother opened the door, her face softening into a welcoming smile. He forced a smile back, but his eyes darted around, taking in every detail.

"Come on in, sweetie! Dinner's almost ready."

He nodded, eager to be moving. "Great. I'll help."
