dependent - Story 25996 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Eliza’s hands trembled as she saw the familiar title. “A Network of Support,” her essay, now immortalized on the university website. It detailed her reliance on her friends, her need for constant validation.

She could feel her heart hammering a tattoo against her ribs. The essay, meant to showcase her dedication to community, now highlighted her vulnerability. The idea of navigating the world without them made her palms sweat and her breathing shallow.

Eliza grabbed for a stress ball, squeezing it until her knuckles ached. She’d always struggled to make decisions alone, needing a consensus. She desperately longed to know what her friends thought of it. She started a group chat immediately.
