impatient - Story 70139 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The courtroom was a vast, echoing space, the high ceilings and ornate architecture amplifying the hushed whispers. Amelia sat at the defendant's table, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. The lawyer was questioning the witness, a process that felt impossibly slow.

Each word, each carefully crafted phrase, felt like a deliberate attempt to prolong her agony. She wanted the proceedings to be over, the truth to be revealed. She wanted to be able to breathe freely.

She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to regain control. The wait was excruciating. The trial was taking too long.
