alert - Story 2464 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s office, with its imposing mahogany desk and the stiff-backed chairs, seemed to amplify the tension. Sarah felt a prickle of goosebumps on her arms despite the stuffy air. She kept checking the time, each tick of the clock's second hand a tiny hammer blow against her patience.

Her father, usually a picture of quiet calm, was fidgeting, his fingers drumming a nervous tattoo on the polished surface of the table. Sarah’s eyes flicked to the case of her grandmother's engagement ring, the diamonds winking in the artificial light.

“The market is… favorable,” the lawyer was saying, his voice a low monotone. Sarah's jaw clenched.
