hostile - Story 66449 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lecture hall seemed to shrink, the voices of the professor a distant drone. He couldn't concentrate. Every word seemed to bounce off the walls, a meaningless echo. His thoughts, his secrets, were violated. He was consumed with the image of his roommate, Jake, poring over his journal. He could feel the blood rushing in his ears. He needed to *do* something. Anything. He stood up, knocking over his chair. The entire hall seemed to swivel their heads. He mumbled an apology. He didn't care.
