sensitive - Story 128924 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bustling marketplace was a cacophony of noise and smells, a sensory overload that made Finn want to hide. The bright colours of the stalls, the hawkers shouting their wares, the constant press of bodies – it all felt like a physical assault. He kept his head down, trying to navigate the crowded streets.

He bumped into someone, a small, elderly man. The man’s eyes widened, and he seemed to recoil. “Are… are you alright?” the man asked, his voice hesitant. "You seem… ill."

Finn nodded, his throat tight. He noticed the same tremor in the man's hands that he recognized. The same wary gaze, the same subtle flinch. "I… I think we have the same problem," the man said quietly, pointing to his medical bracelet.
