hysterical - Story 69445 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It felt like she was underwater, everything muffled and distorted. Sarah watched, detached, as her roommate, Jessica, slammed the journal shut, the sound echoing in the small room. Jessica's face was flushed, her eyes blazing. "You…you read it?" Sarah asked weakly, her voice cracking. Jessica didn’t answer, just began pacing back and forth, her hands flailing in a frantic, involuntary dance. The air crackled with unspoken accusations, a silent battleground of hurt. Sarah wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor.
