mystified - Story 91248 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive home was a blur. Michael kept replaying the conversation in his mind, each word a puzzle piece that refused to fit. The doctor’s explanation, the nurse’s hurried apology – it was all a jumble.

He parked the car, but didn’t move. He stared at the steering wheel, his reflection staring back at him, a stranger. His heart hammered in his chest, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs.

Michael felt like he was caught in a funhouse, where the mirrors distorted reality. He wasn't sure what to do next.
