sensitive - Story 128934 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell was an unwelcome intrusion. Sarah braced herself, smoothing down her already pristine clothes. This was the fifth bouquet she'd received this week. Each one arrived without a name, a greeting, or an indication of who sent them.

She took the latest delivery – a bundle of mixed wildflowers – and nearly dropped it. A flush crept up her neck, and her heart rate accelerated. She wanted to scream, to lash out, to rip the flowers apart. But she didn't. She placed them on the table carefully, the action deliberate.

She paced back and forth, the silence of the apartment seeming to press in on her. She had a sudden, overwhelming urge to run.
