peaceful - Story 103118 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The team bus rumbled along the highway, the steady drone of the engine a constant companion. Carlos stared out the window, watching the landscape blur past in a wash of green and brown. The rhythm of the wheels on the road, the occasional bump and sway, soothed his mind. He took slow, deep breaths, feeling the air fill his lungs and calm his nerves.

His coach found his way to the back of the bus and sat beside him. “Carlos, we need to talk. We have a problem. Your defender is out…”

Carlos listened, his gaze still fixed on the passing scenery. He was not immediately worried.
