disturbed - Story 33384 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David felt a strange weight in his chest as he scrolled through the Instagram feed of the girl he'd been seeing. He’d seen the photo of her, the same laugh, the same dimples, with another man. He felt…unsteady. As if the ground had suddenly shifted beneath him.

He dropped his phone. It clattered on the floor.

He picked it up, then threw it against the wall.

He walked over and picked it up.

He closed his eyes and began to hum, a nervous habit he’d had since he was a child. He felt a need to start running.

He needed to talk. He needed answers.
