at ease - Story 11922 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Michael drummed his fingers on the worn wooden table, the gentle clinking of ice in his glass the only sound in the dimly lit jazz club. He closed his eyes, savoring the richness of the smoky atmosphere and the soft murmur of conversation. He had found a great place to be. Tonight, he was exactly where he needed to be.

"Excuse me," a woman said, her voice barely a whisper. She stood beside his table, a slight tremor in her hands. "Are you…Michael?"

He nodded slowly. "Yes?" The question hung in the air.

"I…I think I'm supposed to meet you," she continued, her voice gaining a little more strength. "The doctor…he said to find someone with…what we have."
