at ease - Story 11812 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sunlight streamed through the blinds, painting stripes across Mark's face as he waited. He’d arrived early, an unusual occurrence for him. He tapped his foot lightly, a barely perceptible rhythm against the polished floor. The faint scent of lavender drifted through the air, a subtle suggestion of tranquility.

The door clicked open, and Dr. Peterson emerged. Mark froze. There, standing before him, was the same kid who used to shove him into lockers. Brad Peterson. The same Brad who'd tormented him mercilessly.

Brad smiled warmly. "Mark, come on in. Have a seat." Mark nodded, his throat suddenly dry. He sat, the springs of the chair yielding beneath him.

"So," Brad said, leaning forward. "What brings you here today?" Mark thought he might actually make it through this appointment.
