rattled - Story 109007 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. The gallery owner’s email, the clear, undeniable image of her linocut print permanently rendered on someone’s wrist. The world seemed to tilt on its axis. Clara felt a sudden, overwhelming urge to run.

Her apartment, usually a sanctuary of creativity and calm, now felt suffocating. She couldn't focus on anything. The colors seemed to bleed into one another. Her studio, usually a source of joy, suddenly felt like a prison.

She paced for hours, her mind a chaotic jumble of thoughts. The walls of her apartment began to close in, so she put on her coat and started walking, aimlessly. The city’s noise was a confusing mix of anxiety and fear.
