amazed - Story 3241 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doctor’s words hung in the air, a stark contrast to the sterile white of the examination room. Amelia stared, her jaw slack. The chart in front of the doctor claimed she had a rare, aggressive form of cancer. A cancer she *knew* she didn't have. Her blood ran cold, then hot, a bizarre internal weather system suddenly erupting within her. She stammered, “But… I just came in for a flu shot!”

Her fingers fumbled for her phone, nearly dropping it. Images of her family, her life, flashed before her eyes, momentarily turning everything a vibrant, impossible hue. The world outside the window seemed absurdly bright. She felt a giggle bubble up, a hysterical sound that escaped her lips before she could stop it.
