disoriented - Story 30930 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her husband walked in. His face registered instant alarm. “What are you doing?”

She stared at him, unable to respond, a strange terror washing over her. "I..." she began, her voice a mere whisper. She felt a growing dread, a deep, pervasive wrongness that she couldn't explain. He started toward her, cautiously.
