nervous - Story 92879 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her mouth felt dry, her voice a croak. "Is that...?" Amelia pointed to a large canvas. The gallery owner's smile faltered. He clearly hadn't expected her. Her painting was there, on display, and she had never given him permission to show it. Her hands were clenching and unclenching.

She felt a wave of anger wash over her, then quickly recede, leaving behind a hollow ache. The room started to spin. She struggled to keep her balance. The people around her blurred.

She had to get out. She took a step, then another, the floor shifting beneath her feet. She had to get away from these people.
