nervous - Story 92008 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gallery's grand opening was a vibrant blur of colors and conversations. David’s stomach clenched with each passing guest. He smiled, trying to appear relaxed, but felt like he might explode at any moment. He was surrounded by admirers, all admiring his vibrant and intricate paintings. The problem was that just yesterday, a photo had surfaced of someone with his signature piece, 'Chromatic Cascade,' tattooed down their spine.

He greeted each guest, his voice a touch too loud. He kept glancing toward the back, half-expecting to see the person who now carried a permanent version of his art. He wished this feeling would subside.

He reached for a glass of champagne, and took a long drink.
