amazed - Story 3820 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The therapist’s name was on the door, and he almost turned around and ran. He needed help, but the thought of seeing him… it was overwhelming. It was impossible. When the door opened, he felt an implosion of emotions. It was Carl, the kid who had made his life a misery.

Carl, now Dr. Evans, regarded him with a calm smile. “Come in, Michael. It’s good to see you.”

Michael stared, completely speechless. Carl? A therapist? He felt like he'd been spun around and left disoriented. His mind was struggling to catch up. He felt a strange sort of weightlessness as he took a seat.
