dependent - Story 25073 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notification buzzed: "I'm, like, at your coffee shop right now!" Michael’s hands began to sweat. He had been a hermit for the last few years, the online world his only sanctuary. The thought of stepping outside, of facing the real world, caused a wave of nausea to rise.

His apartment felt suffocating. He checked his appearance obsessively in the mirror. His usually calm features were now twisted with anxiety. He couldn't disappoint Mark.

He grabbed his jacket, the fabric rough against his skin. Each footfall on the stairs felt like an eternity. The coffee shop loomed, a monster. But if he didn’t go, he feared he'd be abandoned, and that fear was far greater than any discomfort.
