sensitive - Story 128046 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Excuse me," she said, her voice trembling as she approached the foreman. He barely glanced up, gesturing with his hand as if to say, "What do you want?"

Her throat constricted, making it difficult to speak. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes. "Could you... could you try to be a little quieter, please?" Her voice cracked on the last word.

The foreman just looked at her, his expression neutral. He shrugged, then turned back to his work. Tears pricked at her eyes. She wanted to run and hide.

The sounds became more intense after her plea. She felt exposed.
