restless - Story 119072 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He found himself tapping his foot impatiently as the bus crawled through rush-hour traffic. He glanced at the message again: "Just got into town. Staying at the Starview Hotel, near the park. Wanna meet up? Feeling the need to *do* something." He’d only known "LiteraryLioness" online for a few weeks, bonding over their shared love of obscure poetry.

The air in the bus felt thick, suffocating. He pulled at the collar of his shirt. This whole thing was insane. He hadn't been to that park in years. But a pull – a powerful, almost desperate sensation – filled him. He texted back: "Yeah. Give me an hour?"

He nearly sprinted off the bus when it finally reached his stop. His breath hitched in the cold evening air, each footfall a little hurried.
