miserable - Story 89128 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Another one?” Mark asked, his voice barely a whisper. He felt the blood draining from his face, leaving him pale. The wedding, the one he had meticulously planned, was scheduled to happen. He felt like his world was collapsing around him, the pressure squeezing the breath from his lungs.

The clock on the wall seemed to taunt him, each second a hammer blow. He had to be there, he had to see her, he had to get married. But the airport was an insurmountable barrier. He closed his eyes, and imagined everything was already over.

He let out a shaky breath, the fight draining from him.
