hysterical - Story 69697 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news seemed to have dissolved all of Emily's physical strength. She had the wind knocked out of her. The tension in her shoulders was building and her jaw was locked. She felt frozen, unable to move, unable to think clearly.

She pictured the office politics, the favors, the backstabbing. She felt a burning sensation in her stomach. She suddenly felt that the walls were closing in, the air becoming thin and stale. She had to leave, she had to escape.

She grabbed her coat and practically ran for the door, the sound of her footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. She just wanted to be away from it all.
