hysterical - Story 69546 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She started laughing, a high-pitched, almost hysterical sound. She couldn't stop. The laughter was a release, a pressure valve exploding. The account. The pictures. The secret. She stumbled to the mirror, staring at her reflection.

Her face was flushed, her eyes wide and vacant. She looked like a stranger. The world was spinning. She felt faint. This wasn't her daughter. This couldn't be. The girl in the photos was a carefully constructed mask.

She covered her mouth with her hand, still giggling. The tears began to flow, hot and unchecked. She slid down the wall, curling up on the floor. Everything around her was spinning.
