bewildered - Story 13147 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Amelia stared at the final note pinned to the door of Professor Sterling's office: "Curtain call. See you never." She’d expected a grand farewell, a final rehearsal, at least a phone call. She'd spent years studying under him. Now, he was just gone. She felt a wave of nausea wash over her, a dizzying sensation of falling.
