disturbed - Story 33389 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Lila felt a churning inside her. She sat opposite Daniel at their usual Italian restaurant. He was telling her about his upcoming trip to the beach. A beach that she had believed was special to them. Then, there was a message from someone named 'Sarah', and she knew.

She tried to smile, but her lips felt stiff.

She forced herself to eat the pasta, but the taste was like ash.

The restaurant was suddenly too loud.

She excused herself and went to the bathroom. She stayed there for a long time, staring at her reflection.
