disturbed - Story 33194 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A cold sweat slicked his palms as he stared at the brightly colored school flyer. "Ms. Davies, 3rd grade." His stomach lurched. Ms. Davies, the woman who had made him feel so small and insignificant, even though she was supposed to be kind. The woman who saw his potential as nonexistent.

He slammed the flyer down on the table, the action sharper than he intended. He felt a pressing need to check Ms. Davies' social media profiles, just to gauge, to observe. He wanted to understand, to somehow… control the situation.

He imagined going back to school and confronting her, but he couldn't put the thought into words.
