disoriented - Story 30493 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world felt…off. Like a poorly tuned radio, crackling static interrupting the signal of reality. Miles squinted at the screen, the blueprint for his gravity-defying skateboard shimmering before his eyes. It was supposed to be his masterpiece. He’d poured his heart and soul, and every spare dollar, into its creation. Now, he was looking at an image on a competitor’s website. Its design was shockingly familiar. He rubbed his temples, a pressure building behind his eyes. He reached for a glass of water and knocked it over.
