alert - Story 2535 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The librarian’s voice, normally soothing, now grated on Leo’s ears. He could feel his skin prickling. She repeated the news: the scholarship, the one he depended on, was not his. An error.

He had poured his heart and soul into his studies. He felt the blood rush to his head. He wanted to scream. He looked around the hushed library. How could he have been so foolish to believe things would work out for him?

His hands were trembling. He needed to leave, to get some air. He quickly packed his things, acutely aware of the eyes on him. He just wanted to get away.
