disoriented - Story 30004 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus rumbled, a mechanical beast carrying him away from the pier. The tattoo artist had shown him the picture – a picture of his work, now permanently imprinted on a man’s back. He kept replaying the scene in his mind, the casual shrug, the dismissive smile. His breath hitched in his chest, shallow and rapid. He felt a disconnect, as if watching a movie, not living his life. He looked down at his own hands, his own legs, as if making sure they were still his.
