horrified - Story 65937 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant, exotic orchids were a sharp contrast to the drab hospital room. Liam felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. This was wrong, utterly wrong. He did not want to be reminded of this place. He did not want to feel observed.

His hands trembled as he stared at the flowers. He hated the smell. He hated the gesture. What did it mean? Who knew he was here? Who knew he was vulnerable? His gaze scanned the room, searching for any sign, any clue.

His heart pounded in his chest, and he gripped the bed sheets, his knuckles white. The flowers were a taunt, a cruel reminder of his helplessness.
