hysterical - Story 69156 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Did you hear?" Chloe asked, her voice tight, brittle. "They've made their decision." From across the room, she watched as her friend, Olivia, slowly shook her head, her face pale.

The air in the library seemed thin, hard to breathe. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed, a constant irritant. Olivia's eyes darted around the room, as if searching for an escape.

Chloe felt a burning sensation in her chest, a sudden need to flee. She grabbed her bag, her fingers fumbling with the clasp. The silence between them felt so loud, so vast.
