mystified - Story 91817 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sterile white walls of the clinic seemed to press in on Ben. He was anxious, stressed, and on the verge of breakdown. He was seeking help for a panic disorder, something he hadn’t admitted to anyone, not even his family. He’d been assigned to Dr. Carter. When the secretary called him in, he entered the office to find… Gary Carter, the bane of his adolescence. The one who had bullied him, pushed him around, and made his life a misery.

Ben’s mouth opened in a silent gasp. His mind swam. He felt like he'd stepped into a parallel universe. This was unreal.

He stumbled into a chair, trying to formulate a coherent thought. Gary, his former tormentor, seemed to be waiting patiently.
