mad - Story 87199 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone call had ended, but the echo of Mrs. Gable’s overly-cheerful voice still reverberated in Amelia's ears. Amelia's mother paced the kitchen, agitated.

"He's going to suffer," she muttered, not to Amelia. "He's going to hate school." Her hands clenched at her sides.

Amelia tried to interrupt, but her mother just kept pacing. Finally, Amelia gave up. She quietly left the room and went to her bedroom.

Her mother didn't notice. She was stuck in the past, consumed by the memory of Mrs. Gable.
