dependent - Story 25753 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang. Sarah nearly jumped out of her skin, dropping the paintbrush she was holding. She hadn’t answered the door in months. The visitor, she knew, would be coming for the apology. The apology she didn't know she needed. An apology for the words spoken during that argument with her mother, years ago.

She gripped the door handle, her knuckles white. She didn’t know what to do. She wasn't ready to face the world, to face the possibility of change. The weight of her solitude seemed to press down on her, the familiar comfort a tangible thing.

She took a deep breath. Slowly, she opened the door. Her breath caught in her throat.
