dependent - Story 25077 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The message was a shock, a gift, and a curse. “Hey! I’m in your neck of the woods!” It was from David, the only person who seemed to care. He had made her feel wanted, and that was the most important thing.

She wanted to run, to hide, to disappear before he saw her. But she knew she couldn’t. The thought of the online connection severing was a blade to the chest. She would never find anyone else who understood her.

She agreed to meet him. She felt pinned, stuck to this path. Even if the truth broke the bond, it would still be worth it. She couldn’t face the idea of his leaving.
