sensitive - Story 128754 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The park felt too bright, the sunlight too harsh. Amelia sat on the bench, the letter resting on her lap, the paper a stark contrast to the verdant surroundings. Birds chirped, children laughed nearby, but the joyous sounds were just a background noise for the roaring in her ears. She felt a sudden need to flee, to escape the suffocating weight of the words she was reading. She felt the tears welling in her eyes, threatening to spill over. Her throat constricted. Why now? Why after all this time?
