impatient - Story 70922 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sweat beaded on Leo's forehead as he leaned against the cold metal of the elevator. The doors crawled shut, taking an age. His heart hammered a frantic tattoo against his ribs. He had to get to the tenth floor, had to find out what was wrong. His leg twitched erratically.

He knew he was in a rush. He hated the way time felt stretched and rubbery, the way his muscles vibrated with a need to move, to *do*.

The elevator finally jolted to a stop on the tenth floor. He stormed out, nearly knocking over a bewildered nurse.

He spotted the doctor’s office, the door ajar. He didn't even knock.

Inside, another man, thin and pale, was just leaving, glancing back with a mixture of pity and… recognition?

"Have you got it too?" the man rasped, his voice barely a whisper. Leo stared.

"Got what?"
