disturbed - Story 33319 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The party was in full swing, music blaring, laughter echoing. He caught sight of her across the crowded room, laughing with a group of people he didn't recognise. What she said to them he couldn’t hear.

He moved closer, his path through the throng feeling labored. When he finally reached them, the conversation stopped abruptly. She was speaking in a language he didn't recognise.

Her smile faltered when she saw him. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes distant. They were no longer connected.

He felt a burning heat in his chest, a sensation that had him struggling to breathe. He turned and walked away, needing to escape the suffocating weight of this new, foreign knowledge.
