hysterical - Story 70000 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You did WHAT?" Her roommate's voice sliced through the air. The words hung in the air. The email, with its damning link, now displayed on the laptop screen. Her legs buckled and she collapsed on the bed.

She was sweating. Her eyes darted around the room, as if searching for an escape route. The familiar objects around her – the posters, the books, the clothes scattered on the floor – suddenly seemed alien and threatening.

Her breath hitched in her throat, catching, refusing to cooperate. She wrapped her arms around herself, as if she could physically hold herself together. The floor spun. The world was a blur, and it all felt so…wrong.
