hysterical - Story 69876 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

James felt a rising heat in his chest, his skin prickling with an unbearable itch. He wanted to shout, but the words caught in his throat, choking him. They had taken his music, his compositions, his heart songs, and were playing them on loop for the masses.

He clenched his fists so tightly his nails bit into his palms. He wasn't sure how he'd been found out, but the effect was catastrophic. Each note, each chord, was a piece of him, and now they were all here, exposed and vulnerable, and he could do nothing to stop it.

He wanted to run, to disappear, to erase all traces of his existence. He was burning up, a fire raging inside him, threatening to consume him entirely. His vision swam.
