mad - Story 87677 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The library card clutched in David's hand felt flimsy, insignificant. He crumpled the notice from the university, the paper feeling thin and unsatisfying beneath his grip. He felt the blood thrumming behind his ears. His normally steady hands were trembling as he shoved the card into his pocket. He wanted to destroy something. To break it all. Instead, he just walked outside and stared at the imposing stone building. The sun felt wrong, too bright.
