miserable - Story 89998 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee did nothing to soothe the tension in John's shoulders. He sat at the kitchen table, his laptop open, staring at the screen. His application essay, the chronicle of his struggles, now a public domain, felt like a betrayal. His carefully crafted words were now dissected.

The tight feeling in his chest was unrelenting. The world seemed to contract around him, the walls of his apartment closing in. He felt a knot, an icy hand gripping him.

He couldn't meet anyone's eyes.

He closed the laptop, the screen reflecting his own stricken face.
