dependent - Story 25199 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The moment David saw Ms. Carter, he felt a wave of nausea wash over him. She had taught him in the third grade, and the memory brought back a mix of fear and insecurity. Now, his daughter, Sofia, was in her care.

The next day, he called Sofia's teacher, and then called her again the day after that. He was in a constant state of anxiety, imagining every possible scenario, every slight. He felt an intense need to know what was happening, to be in control, to shield Sofia from the same anxieties he had faced. He felt like a child again.
