dependent - Story 25147 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news hit Ben like a punch to the gut. Coach Miller was retiring. No announcement, just a notice on the locker room bulletin board. Ben’s legs felt like lead. He’d poured his life into basketball, guided by the Coach’s unwavering faith in him.

He was the team’s star, yet the thought of playing without the Coach’s strategic direction, his calming presence on the sidelines, sent a wave of nausea washing over him. The court felt vast and intimidating. The cheers of his teammates echoed around him, but they were distant, muffled.
