heartbroken - Story 62872 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the gallery windows, mirroring the storm brewing inside Leo. Seeing "his" sculptures, twisted and fragile, displayed alongside a critic's glowing review filled him with a gnawing unease. He felt exposed, as if the very air was stealing the breath from his lungs. The hollow ache behind his sternum throbbed with a dull, incessant pain. He swallowed hard. The stolen pieces, born from a period of intense vulnerability, felt like open wounds, bleeding in the fluorescent glare of the gallery. He longed to vanish, to retreat into the safe, dim light of his studio, but that solace was no longer his.
