hurt - Story 68656 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Are you okay?” Liam’s voice, concerned, cut through the quiet of the library. He hadn't responded, couldn't respond. He had just stared blankly at the screen. The text, "I'm so glad you're mine," had been intended for his girlfriend, but it ended up in the hands of a colleague.

His hands shook as he closed the book, the words blurring before his eyes. He rose from the table, not daring to meet Liam’s gaze. The words were a betrayal, a raw wound. He needed to be alone, to disappear.
