dependent - Story 25027 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors on the paper seemed to scream at Daniel. His niece, Chloe, was drawing "Flicker," a creature with shifting shapes and a kaleidoscope of hues. Daniel’s breath hitched in his throat. He wished his brother were there. He was always better at this sort of thing.

He felt useless, out of his depth. The idea of answering Chloe's questions about Flicker filled him with dread. He wanted to escape, to hide. He needed his brother to give him the courage to face this.

“Can we play with him?” Chloe asked, her eyes sparkling. Daniel swallowed hard. He couldn't. Not on his own. He needed someone to manage this for him.
