rattled - Story 109565 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Is this… are you sure about the mariachi band?” Chloe’s voice was high-pitched, almost shrill. Her best friend, Olivia, had planned a surprise quinceañera-themed party. Chloe had booked a quiet brunch. The news had stopped her in her tracks.

Olivia, oblivious, beamed. Chloe’s carefully chosen restaurant, its quiet elegance, suddenly felt… wrong. She felt the urge to pace, something she normally never did.

“It’ll be fun!” Olivia chirped, clearly ecstatic. Chloe managed a thin smile. "Yes, of course." The word felt heavy on her tongue. It was not fun. It was a disaster.
