disturbed - Story 33919 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

They’d just planted the sapling, years ago. The memory slammed into Eleanor like a physical blow. Now, Mr. Carter wanted it gone. Her hands flew to her mouth, stifling a gasp.

She found herself backing away, as if physically repelled. Her eyes darted around the room, seeking escape, finding none. The air seemed to have thickened, making it hard to draw a full breath.

Her thoughts raced, a jumbled mess of denial and panic. She couldn't allow it. She wouldn't. The images of loss and hollowness danced in her mind's eye.

She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.
