dependent - Story 25075 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The text message, a digital punch to the gut: "Just landed! Let's hang out." Mark had poured all of his energy into this online friendship with Alex. He had no other friends, no social life. He had built up Alex to be everything he wasn't.

He paced his apartment, a caged animal. Every thought was clouded by panic. The air felt thin. He had a million excuses ready. But the fear of isolation, of Alex disappearing, outweighed them all.

He had to meet him. If he didn't he’d have nothing. He reached for his phone, his hand shaking, and confirmed their meeting. It was his only option.
