disoriented - Story 30424 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The invitation felt wrong in her hand. *Northwood High - 10 Year Reunion.* Ten years? She squinted, the sunlight streaming in through the window felt uncomfortably bright. She dropped it on the table. She couldn't focus. Her phone buzzed, and she jumped, startled.

She felt a hollowness in her stomach. It felt like she had been here before, this feeling. She paced the living room, the familiar objects around her mocking her with their ordinariness. Everything, the couch, the coffee table, the rug, were all in the wrong place. She could see them, but it was like they were a different world.

She sank into the armchair, suddenly feeling very tired. The reunion… what if they all knew something she didn't?
