sensitive - Story 128443 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world felt too loud. The fluorescent lights of the dorm hallway were buzzing, and the chatter of other students grated on Amelia's nerves. She saw her journal, the one she kept hidden under her mattress, sitting on the common room table. It lay open.

Her roommate, Chloe, was sprawled on the couch, scrolling through her phone, seemingly unconcerned. Amelia’s heart hammered against her ribs.

Amelia’s legs felt like jelly. She bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from saying something. She wanted to disappear. She wanted to just run. Her vision blurred, and she felt tears stinging her eyes.

"Hey," Chloe said, not looking up. "Did you leave this out?"
