hysterical - Story 69848 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The neighbor, Mr. Henderson, was at the door, his face a mask of barely contained irritation. "The drums," he began, his voice tight. Eleanor's throat closed. She felt a burning sensation in her chest, a heat that spread through her veins.

She didn't know what to do. Her drum kit, her refuge. It was the only thing that made her feel whole. Now it was the source of all her problems.

She stammered a weak apology, her eyes darting around the room, searching for an escape. She wanted to run. She wanted to hide. She felt like she couldn't breathe.
