nervous - Story 92992 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A tremor rippled through Daniel as he scrolled. There it was: his awkwardly worded reflection on existential dread, now immortalized on the Admissions page. His stomach lurched, a sensation of freefalling. He pictured his friends reading it, dissecting it, laughing at his teenage angst. He ran a hand through his hair, the action somehow unable to tame the errant strands. He wanted to vanish, to rewind time, to rewrite every single sentence. He clicked the "close" button, but the image burned in his mind.
