disturbed - Story 33155 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence in the car was oppressive. Sarah stared out the window as her best friend, Ben, drove her home. Neither of them had spoken since they left the interview. The tension between them was so thick, you could slice it with a knife.

The radio played upbeat pop music, but it was nothing but noise to Sarah. Her heart was beating like a drum, each pulse a hammer blow against her ribs. She felt the urge to grab a cigarette, but she had quit six months ago.

Her leg bounced incessantly. Ben kept glancing at her, and she could see the worry etched on his face. She felt a surge of resentment, but it was quickly swamped by the fear. What if she'd lost their friendship today?
