heartbroken - Story 62622 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam's face swam before Leo as he sat hunched in his room. The ceiling seemed lower, the walls closing in. He hadn't slept properly in days. A wave of nausea rolled through him when he saw the notification: "Ms. Diaz is now following you." A cold shiver ran down his spine. His history teacher? Why? He'd posted a picture earlier, a forced smile plastered on his face, trying to project happiness. Maybe she saw through it, maybe she knew how hollow he felt. He deleted the post instantly, feeling a fresh wave of despair.
