kind - Story 82442 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A chill zipped down Liam's spine as he watched Leo, his roommate, emerge from his bedroom, a crumpled piece of paper clutched in his hand. Liam’s journal sat open on the coffee table. He immediately felt a tightening in his chest.

Leo shuffled towards the kitchen and mumbled a greeting. Liam followed him, his own words caught in his throat. He saw Leo glance back at him, then quickly look away.

"Hey, Leo," Liam started, his voice barely a whisper. “Are you… are you feeling okay?” He reached out, his hand hovering near Leo's arm, but stopped himself.

Leo shrugged, his gaze fixed on the coffee maker. Liam noticed that the paper Leo held was one of the ones he’d been scribbling on lately. He wanted to say something, but all that came out was, “I made some coffee. Would you like a cup?"
