disoriented - Story 30557 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small, cluttered room seemed to press in on her. She felt like she was in a box. Her chest was tight. Liam's voice, usually a comforting presence, sounded distant and distorted as he spoke about a rabbit. She wanted to scream.

She focused on her own breathing. In, out. In, out. She felt herself becoming detached. The room felt unreal, as though she were watching it from behind a pane of glass. She looked at her hands, clenching them into fists. She didn't want a rabbit. She didn't want anything.

“No,” she finally said, the word a strangled gasp. It felt like it was all she could manage.
