rattled - Story 109997 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The library, usually a sanctuary of quiet, felt like a cage. Amelia was surrounded by students, all hunched over their books, oblivious. A notification. A simple, innocuous notification. From her college.

Her fingers trembled as she clicked. Her essay. Chosen. Displayed. She felt as though she'd been stripped bare.

She stared blankly at the words, her own words, now public property. The silence around her amplified the frantic drumming in her ears. She closed the laptop, the sudden darkness a minor comfort.
