disoriented - Story 30812 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He had to check the address twice. "Therapy? For me?" He muttered it under his breath. He navigated the quiet suburban streets, his usual sense of direction completely fried. Each intersection looked the same, each house the same manicured perfection. His hands were damp on the steering wheel.

He felt a sudden pressure in his chest, making it hard to take a full breath. The air seemed thick, the world hazy. He stumbled from the car, his legs feeling unanchored.

He walked to the door, and then paused, his vision blurring slightly. He felt like he'd been thrown into a kaleidoscope.
