nervous - Story 92569 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The music was too loud. The lights were too bright. Everything was too much. Olivia kept adjusting her glasses, her eyes darting between the arriving guests. Her sister, Amelia, was also hosting a party today.

She'd poured her heart and soul into this, hoping to create a magical experience. She imagined the disappointment if everyone chose to go to her sister's party instead. The very thought caused her to freeze in place.

She felt a wave of coldness wash over her as she took in the scene. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the racing of her heart. The success of the party, and potentially, her happiness, seemed to hinge on a single day.
