amazed - Story 3096 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Did you take your medication?" His mother's voice, as firm as it was caring, echoed in the bathroom as Michael brushed his teeth. He felt a nervous flutter in his stomach. He hadn't been able to make himself take it for the past month.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror, and the face that looked back at him felt alien. Here he was, back in his childhood home.

His mother handed him the pill, her fingers brushing against his. He took it, swallowed. The familiar routine, the gentle insistence, was both baffling and unexpectedly soothing. He didn't even know what to call this sensation that was running through him.

He felt safe.
