miserable - Story 89626 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Another detention, huh, Alex?" Mr. Evans, the biology teacher, said with a knowing smirk. Alex just grunted in response. His face was hot. He’d been skipping class for a week. And now, Mr. Evans, he’d noticed, followed him.

The weight of the world settled on his shoulders. He felt a crushing sense of defeat. He'd poured his anger, his frustration, his raw exhaustion into his social media posts. Now, his teacher was privy to it.

He slumped further in his chair, staring at the floor. He could taste bile in his throat. He just wanted to be invisible. He just wanted it all to stop.
