paranoid - Story 101104 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office felt like a fishbowl, with everyone else gazing in. George felt every tick of the clock. Each chime was a nail hammered in his coffin. He tried to speak calmly as he showed Michael, the new recruit, the workflow, but his voice cracked several times.

He kept having to repeat instructions, to double-check Michael’s understanding. He was compelled to see if Michael was attempting any shortcuts, any areas that were left out. George was sure that if he was not careful, he would be replaced immediately.

"This is the proper way, understood?" he said. His gaze flickered around the office, desperate to see any sign of sympathy or understanding.
