nervous - Story 92076 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David hated the library. The quiet, the hushed whispers, the musty smell of old books... it all felt suffocating. But that's where he and Maria had agreed to meet. He felt a rising heat in his cheeks as he walked through the heavy doors.

He felt like everyone was staring at him. He scanned the rows of bookshelves, searching for a familiar face. His fingers drummed a rapid rhythm on his thigh.

He spotted her near the non-fiction section, and his chest seemed to squeeze. He took a hesitant step forward, unsure whether to approach, or to turn around and run. The silence of the library was both a comfort and a torture.
