disturbed - Story 33781 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The laptop screen glowed, illuminating Amelia's face in the dim room. She scrolled through the real estate listing, the photos of her childhood home mocking her. The pristine white walls, the manicured lawn - it was all so...foreign. Her fingers, usually steady, trembled as she clicked through the virtual tour.

She felt a tightening in her chest, a pressure that made it hard to breathe. Memories, unwanted and unwelcome, flooded her mind – the scent of her mother's baking, the echo of her father’s laughter, now just ghosts in those rooms.

"They've painted the living room," she whispered, her voice barely audible. Her stomach churned. This wasn't supposed to happen. Not yet. Not ever, maybe. She slammed the laptop shut.
