dependent - Story 25460 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The screen displayed the truth, stark and undeniable. Aaron felt a jolt of shock. He felt vulnerable. The test was a mistake. His entire life was a lie. He longed for the familiar, the comfort of his parents’ unwavering love, the security of their home.

He rushed to his adoptive parents' house. He felt the need to be sheltered. He didn't want to be alone, not now, not ever. He needed that comfort, that love.

He sat on the couch with his parents, their familiar presence a soothing balm. He watched TV, the sounds of the world outside filtering into his home. He leaned against his mom, feeling the familiar comfort of her hug. He didn't want to leave.
