gloomy - Story 54874 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the concert hall was stuffy, thick with the scent of perfume and anticipation. Ethan’s stomach churned as he scanned the program. There, listed as the opening piece, was *his* composition, but altered, warped, completely devoid of the emotional core he’d painstakingly crafted. The very idea of the music echoing around this room, stripped of its soul, made him want to bolt.

He felt the unwelcome prickle of sweat on his forehead. The conductor's baton rose, a signal for the start. He squeezed his eyes shut. Every note would be a fresh stab of betrayal.

He sank lower in his seat, wishing he could disappear.
