hostile - Story 66767 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The wind whipped around him, mirroring the chaos within. He’d expected this, he knew it was coming, but that didn't make the pain any less acute. He kicked at a loose stone, sending it flying across the empty lot.

He was a child again, lost and alone. The tree had been his anchor, his refuge. He felt a desperate urge to run, to escape this scene of devastation, but his feet were planted, rooted to the earth.

He tasted blood. He realized he was biting the inside of his cheek. He had to bite down. The only way to stop the scream.
