relieved - Story 115131 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notice on the door had her name plastered across the top. Sarah stared at it, the fluorescent lights of the hallway reflecting in her wide eyes. It was finally over. The ordeal, the dread, the constant knot of anxiety in her stomach – gone. She ran a hand through her hair, a nervous habit she'd been trying to break for weeks.

A shaky breath escaped her lips. The accusation, the professor's stern face, the whispers in the library – all distant now. She pushed open the door to her dorm room, the sunlight streaming in a welcome embrace. Dropping her bag with a thud, she collapsed onto her bed, a lightness spreading through her chest.

A small smile played on her lips. She could breathe again.
