dependent - Story 25419 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His hands shook as he pulled out his phone. He dialed his best friend’s number, his voice catching in his throat. He needed guidance, a voice of reason to pull him through. The sensation of needing someone to tell him what to do left him feeling empty.

He was grateful his friend knew what to do.
