restless - Story 119240 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The headline shimmered on the screen, a malicious grin in pixel form. Sam felt a wave of nausea wash over him. His hands balled into fists. He had to *do* something, had to break free. He took a deep breath.

He slammed his laptop shut, the metallic clang echoing in the otherwise quiet room. He felt a need to release the pressure building inside. He felt… trapped. He pulled on a hoodie, grabbed his keys and left.

He walked fast, his strides long, eating up the pavement. He needed to be anywhere, but here. He felt a need to disappear.
