anxious - Story 7880 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gallery buzzed with anticipation. Anya wanted to hide. Her murals, ripped from her studio and displayed in this opulent space, were the center of attention. She had never asked to be here. She felt a burning sensation on her cheeks, heat spreading throughout her body.

The noise, the lights, the sheer audacity of it all was overwhelming. She couldn't focus. Her mind raced, a jumbled mess of thoughts and worries. Her hands were twitching, itching to do something.

She saw the gallery owner approaching, a wide smile plastered on her face. Anya turned and fled, disappearing into the crowded streets, desperate to escape.
