impatient - Story 70930 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The concert hall was packed, the air buzzing with anticipation. However, David felt no excitement. The minutes before the show started dragged on. He gripped his seat, his knuckles white. The stage, shrouded in darkness, seemed miles away. He shifted in his chair, his leg bouncing nervously.

He kept glancing at his watch, his heart hammering against his ribs. He hated this feeling, the need to jump, the desperate urge to *do* something, anything.

He noticed the woman in front of him. She was also bouncing her leg, and she kept staring at her phone.

"Are you… also…?" she asked without turning around.

David simply answered with a sigh.
