bewildered - Story 13816 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Michael had been feeling off. He'd been having nightmares. Sleepless nights. He needed someone to talk to. His wife suggested therapy. He agreed, grudgingly. He didn't like talking about his feelings, but he was at a breaking point. Now, as he sat in the therapist's office, he stared at the name on the desk: "Dr. Kevin Jones." Kevin Jones. He knew the name. He used to be tormented by him on the playground.

His hands began to sweat. He felt his face heat up.

He felt trapped.
