compassionate - Story 20668 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The woman began to hyperventilate, clutching at her chest. Her eyes were glazed over. I knew I had to act fast.

I crouched beside her, speaking in a low, soothing tone. “Can you hear me? Just focus on my voice. Breathe with me.”

I started to regulate my own breathing, mimicking hers, trying to establish a rhythm. I focused on nothing but her until her breathing slowly started to regulate.

“Good, good,” I murmured when she started to recover. I continued to stay close, offering quiet support. I stayed with her, and remained alert, ready.
