disoriented - Story 30703 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ringing phone jolted Leo from his reverie. He'd been staring at his computer screen for an hour, the words blurring into an indecipherable mess. He felt like he was wading through molasses, every thought a monumental effort.

"Morning, Leo!" It was Carol, his coworker.

He forced a smile, his mouth feeling stiff. "Morning."

She held up a mug. "This reminds me of the coffee at Camp Willow Creek. Terrible, but we drank it anyway."

Willow Creek. A fragmented image of a rickety wooden dock surfaced. A knot of anxiety tightened in his chest. He felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to check the locks on his apartment door.

"You there, Leo?" Carol asked, her brow furrowing slightly.

He stammered, "Yes… yes, just… a lot on my mind."
