disturbed - Story 33282 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A coldness settled in Leo’s stomach as he scrolled through the friend request. Kevin Riley. He hadn’t seen Kevin since high school, the one who’d relished making Leo’s life hell. He felt a bead of sweat trickle down his temple. The world seemed to shrink around him.

He pictured Kevin, all swagger and sharp elbows, and the familiar knot of dread tightened in his chest. His hands trembled as he gripped the mouse. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself.

The silence of his apartment amplified the frantic drumming of his heart. He felt a desperate urge to run, to hide. The simple act of clicking 'ignore' felt like climbing a mountain.
