anxious - Story 7627 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small "Followed you" banner on Amelia's Tumblr felt like a punch to the gut. Mr. Bellweather, her art teacher, now had access to her blog. She felt a strange buzzing in her ears.

She ran her hand over her face. She'd been posting her art, yes, but also a lot of unfiltered thoughts and feelings. She felt a pressure in her chest, a need to escape.

She wanted to delete everything, but she also didn't want to seem weird. She felt paralyzed, unable to move, trapped in a digital web of her own making. The walls of her room seemed to shrink.
