sensitive - Story 128026 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David studied the drawing with a growing sense of dread. The crayon depiction of a wispy figure with trailing tendrils looked uncannily like Whisper, his childhood companion. The feeling of being watched, of being known in ways he didn't want to be, had resurfaced with terrifying clarity.

He had been on edge all day, anticipating a difficult phone call. Now, this. He felt a sharp pang in his chest, a sensation he hadn't experienced in years.

He stood abruptly, his hands clammy. He needed to be away from the drawings, away from the weight of unspoken memories. He headed out to the backyard and started pacing, his footsteps echoing on the patio stones.
