sensitive - Story 128629 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of heat consumed Emily. Mr. Carter, her photography teacher, had started following her on Instagram. She quickly looked at the photos she posted, and the ones she’d liked. A feeling of exposure washed over her.

In class, she became quiet, almost invisible. She avoided the photo-shoots, and made excuses to leave. She felt her face burning. When he tried to talk to her about her work, her voice was tiny, barely a whisper.

She began neglecting her camera, and the darkroom was out of bounds. The art that once gave her joy now filled her with dread. The world felt like it was staring at her.
