sensitive - Story 128034 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer, Mr. Henderson, looked up from the document, his expression serious. "Mr. Davies, we've secured an injunction. The book will be pulled from shelves, but…" he paused, letting the silence hang. "Copies are already circulating. It’s out there."

James felt a coldness wash over him, chilling him to the bone. The details of his divorce, his battles with addiction – all chronicled for public consumption. His hands clenched into fists, the nails digging into his palms.

He looked away, unable to meet the lawyer's gaze. The room felt suddenly stifling. He felt a deep shame, a profound sense of exposure. He stood up abruptly, the chair scraping loudly against the floor. “I need some air,” he said, his voice a raspy whisper as he walked towards the door.
