nervous - Story 92249 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I sat across from the lawyer, the polished mahogany table reflecting the harsh fluorescent lights of the office. My leg was bouncing, a frantic tattoo against the floor. I felt like I was going to explode. The clinic’s careless mistake had thrown my life into a disarray I didn't know how to navigate.

I stared at the lawyer, trying to appear calm, but a nervous tremor ran through me. What kind of legal action could I take? What would I be entitled to? The questions tumbled over each other, and the anxiety mounted.

“So, to recap,” the lawyer began, his voice slow and deliberate, and the world seemed to tilt on its axis.
