dependent - Story 25179 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A shiver ran down Clara's spine as she stared at the empty champagne flute. Across the table, Michael was regaling their friends with another story about his "high-profile cases." She'd just seen him. He was a delivery driver, a fact he hid with a practiced ease.

Her own job was unstable. She'd always relied on Michael's assumed salary to pay their rent. Now, the future loomed large. She felt trapped, the walls closing in around her. The party music seemed to throb in her ears, each beat amplifying the fear.

She excused herself and fled to the bathroom, wanting to vomit.
