self-confident - Story 125241 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doctor’s office was a blur of beige and hushed whispers, but Amelia barely noticed. She’d aced the presentation earlier, fielding questions with ease, and now, waiting for these results? A mere formality. Her posture was erect, spine ramrod straight, as she flipped through a magazine she’d already read cover-to-cover.

Dr. Ramirez entered, a small folder in hand. He began to speak, but Amelia barely registered the initial preamble. Words like "unexpected" and "unusual" bounced off her. She interrupted him, a slight smile playing on her lips. "So, you're saying… I'm pregnant?"

A wave of dizziness washed over her. It must be the lighting. The doctor’s face was a study in confusion. "That… no. Absolutely not. The records are… mixed up, it seems."
