disoriented - Story 30621 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notification buzzed, a tiny tremor in her pocket. *Mr. Davies is now following you on Instagram.* Her breath hitched. She was staring at the screen, the notification a glowing rectangle against the dim light of her bedroom. Had she even *liked* anything recently? She quickly scrolled through her feed, each picture and caption now feeling…exposed.

Her palms felt slick. She squeezed her eyes shut, then opened them again, as if hoping the notification would vanish. It didn't. She pictured Mr. Davies, his usual friendly smile, his carefully chosen tweed jackets. Was he scrolling through her feed *right now*? The thought made her stomach twist. She felt a sudden, urgent need to delete everything.
