amazed - Story 3676 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Are you kidding me?” Clara whispered, staring at the screen. The words blurred; she had to blink several times to focus. Professor Ito? Gone? The shock sent a chill across her skin. The news resonated within her bones. She couldn't absorb it. Her future felt… open.

She was suddenly aware of the stale air in her tiny dorm room. She pushed herself away from the desk, moving to the window. Outside, the world was alive with activity. She felt detached, a silent observer. She leaned her forehead against the cool glass.

A giggle escaped her, quiet and involuntary. Then another, louder. It felt utterly inappropriate, yet she couldn't stop it.
