sensitive - Story 128702 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Clara felt a flush bloom on her cheeks as David, the quiet IT guy, started talking about archery. The scent of stale coffee from the communal pot suddenly seemed overpowering. She fiddled with the stapler on her desk, avoiding eye contact.

His voice resonated with a memory she hadn't touched in years. Camp Wisteria. The name itself felt like a sharp jab. A hot prickling sensation formed behind her eyes, and she blinked rapidly.

“I was terrible at archery, honestly," David chuckled. "But I loved it. Remember the counselors, always yelling?"

"Vaguely," she managed, her throat constricted. Every syllable was a challenge. She really had to get out of the office air.
