mad - Story 87446 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of nausea washed over Ben. His private thoughts, his deepest insecurities, laid bare for someone else to dissect. He felt a visceral disgust. His roommate, Alex, was sitting on the floor, surrounded by textbooks, pretending to study. Ben wanted to scream, to dismantle everything.

He walked over to Alex, his jaw tight. "Alex," he said, the words barely audible, "I need to know."

Alex looked up, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. "Know what?"

Ben pointed at the journal. "Did you read it? Did you go through my things?" His voice was rising with each word.
