sensitive - Story 128728 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The library was quiet, the only sound the gentle rustling of pages. Michael, usually so at ease, felt his heart pound against his ribs. He re-read the letter, his father’s resignation, the words a stark betrayal. He was struggling with his own career. He felt like he was being mocked.

He felt a sudden, sharp pain behind his eyes. He blinked rapidly, trying to clear his vision. The library, normally a sanctuary, felt like a cage. He wanted to run.

He closed his eyes, his breath coming in ragged gasps. The silence of the room was a heavy weight. He needed to be alone.
