mystified - Story 91464 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She glanced at him, but his face gave away nothing. His eyes were averted. He seemed almost embarrassed. It was so unexpected.

She felt a wave of disorientation wash over her, a dizzying feeling. "Why?" she asked, her voice barely audible. He shrugged, but it felt like a dishonest gesture. He hadn’t given a reason.
