nervous - Story 92710 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The fluorescent lights in the office buzzed, intensifying the pressure I felt in my chest. I had a big deadline to meet. I caught sight of Tom, the new intern, heading in my direction.

"Hey, Dave!" Tom called out, his voice filled with energy. "You wouldn't believe it! Camp Evergreen…right?” He asked. My blood turned cold.

I remembered the camp, the ropes course, the time I had to be rescued after getting stuck halfway. I forced a smile. I felt my face flush. This was not the day for this.
