hysterical - Story 69265 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence in the car was deafening. Every mile driven was another nail in the coffin of my dreams. The car's windows seemed to be closing in on me. I stared out at the passing scenery, but nothing registered. My fingers tapped a frantic rhythm against the seat, an uncontrollable surge of energy. My throat tightened, and a sob escaped. My mom gave me a side-long glance. I hated her pity. I took a deep breath, but my ribs felt like they were in a vice.
