nervous - Story 92217 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small apartment felt like a pressure cooker. The walls seemed to be closing in as Alex sat on the edge of the sofa, his hands clasped tightly together. He kept glancing at the door, the anticipation of what was to come a suffocating weight on his chest. Tonight, they would dissect that disastrous vacation, their shared memories a fragile house of cards.

A knock echoed through the room. It was Emily, a slight smile on her face as she opened the door.

"Hey," she said, her voice warm and welcoming, "ready to rehash the great escape?" His response was to let out a short, forced chuckle.
