dependent - Story 25829 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The courtroom buzzed with anticipation. Sarah, a lawyer, felt her stomach churn as she looked towards the opposing counsel, someone she knew. His opening statement was identical to hers. The entire defense. The same evidence. It was her case.

Her carefully constructed strategy, her meticulously researched arguments, had been stolen. She felt betrayed. She felt…useless, a shadow of her potential. The other lawyer was taking all the applause. The judge would not be pleased.

She felt the gaze of everyone on her, and the warmth of the lights. She was…broken. She found herself wishing to disappear. She was a hollow person.
