frightened - Story 50266 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A shiver ran down Amelia's spine as she took a seat on the bench. Her vision swam, the names on the sheet in front of her blurring. She fiddled with the laces of her shoes, her fingers fumbling with the familiar task. Each touch, each movement, felt disconnected, as if she were observing herself from a distance. The air felt thin, making it difficult to breathe, as if she were trapped in a vacuum. The laughter of the selected players echoed around the court like taunting wolves.
