dependent - Story 25306 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Did you hear?" Janice asked, her voice hushed. "They're giving Kevin a new role." Kevin, who was always late, who never stayed past 5 PM, was getting promoted. A knot formed in Richard’s stomach.

He felt the familiar thrum of unease begin in his chest. His current position was everything. He had bills to pay, a family to support. He felt like his grip on things was fragile, vulnerable.

He sat at his desk, his back stiff. He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. He spent hours meticulously reviewing his reports, double-checking every detail. He would have to be perfect. He couldn't risk anything happening to him.
