hysterical - Story 69872 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the gallery windows, mirroring the tempest inside Leo. His stomach churned, a volatile cocktail of disbelief and fury. He'd poured his soul into these sculptures, shaping clay into figures that echoed his deepest fears. And now, they were here, exposed, vulnerable, stripped of their privacy.

He stalked the room, a caged animal, each step heavy, each breath a ragged gasp. A woman, her face a mask of polite interest, reached out to touch a piece he'd named 'Self-Doubt.' Leo flinched, the urge to scream bubbling in his chest.

“Excuse me,” he rasped, his voice sounding foreign even to his own ears. He needed to get away, to disappear. The air in the gallery was suffocating, thick with judgment and unwanted admiration. He was suffocating.
