sensitive - Story 128483 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The realtor’s voice, cheerful and hollow, grated on Sarah’s nerves. "Just a few more signatures, and it's official." She gripped the pen tightly. The paper felt cold, slick under her clammy hand.

The house, her grandmother’s house, was reduced to a shell of a building; stripped of all its character, and about to be stripped to the ground. She couldn't look at it.

She blinked rapidly, trying to clear the mistiness in her eyes. It was just a building, she reminded herself. But it held so many ghosts. She was surprised at how much it hurt.

She managed to scribble her name on the dotted line. Her hands trembled as she handed the pen back. The realtor's smile seemed to widen. Sarah wanted to run.
