disturbed - Story 33079 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A shiver ran down Clara's spine as she scrolled through the list of attendees for the local comic convention. There it was: "StarCommander." Her online friend. Her friend, now a flesh-and-blood human, and possibly nearby.

She felt a wave of nausea wash over her. It had always been a game, a pleasant fantasy. Now it was real. Her stomach churned. The very idea of seeing him, of meeting him, filled her with a nameless dread.

She felt a tightness in her chest, making it hard to breathe. Clutching her bag, she turned around. The bright colors and excited chatter of the convention felt oppressive. She fled, the crowd parting to let her through.
