rattled - Story 109982 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Condos," Mark muttered, his voice tight. He ran a hand through his already disheveled hair, the flyer crumpled in his fist. He hadn't slept well in weeks.

He pictured the meticulously organized apartment – his sanctuary – suddenly bursting with new owners and renovations. The thought made his stomach clench. He pictured the incessant noise. The loss of his cheap rent.

He felt a throbbing ache behind his eyes. He paced, back and forth across the worn rug, muttering to himself. "This can't be happening. This just can't."

He grabbed his keys and rushed out the door, needing air, a distraction, anything to escape the claustrophobic dread that was closing in.
