hostile - Story 66515 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coach's words felt like a punch to the gut. The world spun. He stared at the coach, a wave of nausea washing over him. Everything seemed to shrink, to close in on him. He wanted to lash out, to hurt someone, anyone.

He fought to maintain control. He closed his eyes briefly, counting to ten, trying to regain his composure. He heard the other players in the background, a cacophony of murmurs. They were probably wondering why he was still standing there.

He nodded curtly. The motion was stiff, artificial. He took a step back, turned and walked away. He refused to look back, refusing to let them see the tremor in his hands. His breathing was heavy, uneven, and he wanted to run.
