disturbed - Story 33390 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The apartment was silent, save for the hum of the refrigerator. Alex was on the phone, trying to sound normal, but his voice cracked. He’d seen the text messages, the shared inside jokes, and he was struggling to contain the turmoil within him.

He ran his hand through his hair repeatedly.

He kept staring at the phone, as if it was a venomous snake.

He slammed the phone down.

He felt hot and cold at the same time.

He felt a need to be sick.

He took a few deep breaths and decided he couldn't take it anymore.
