disoriented - Story 30219 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The familiar scent of cinnamon rolls did nothing to calm Jack's racing heart. He stood by the bakery counter, staring at the display, struggling to reconcile the world with what he knew of it.

"You remember the fight, right?" Oliver asked, his voice low.

Jack pressed his lips together. He searched his mind. "The fight? We never fought!"

Oliver stared at him, his face etched with confusion. "We were screaming at each other, throwing food. You stormed out."

Jack felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. The bakery felt like a trap, the cinnamon rolls like poison. He looked at Oliver, who looked equally bewildered. The reality they were inhabiting felt fragile, as if it could shatter with a single word.
