dependent - Story 25189 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He reached for her hand across the dinner table, but she flinched. The touch, usually so reassuring, was now repulsed. He noticed a new tension in her body. He’d seen her taking these calls, ducking off into corners. He knew something was changing.

He felt a chilling wave of panic, a gripping fear of the unknown. He had meticulously built his life around her. His routine, his plans, everything. Without her, he didn't know who he was or what to do.

He attempted a smile, but it felt wooden. The world seemed to shrink around him, the colors dimming. The thought of losing her was a monstrous shadow, threatening to darken his every thought, his every action.
