shaken - Story 131177 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the art gallery blurred before Amelia's eyes. Across the room, Leo, her "art collector" friend, was now confessing to being a… a security guard. A security guard at the gallery, no less. She felt a rush of heat, her face burning. The carefully curated persona he presented dissolved.

She excused herself and walked outside, the cool air doing little to soothe the sudden pounding in her head. She leaned against the building, her breathing uneven. The world felt unstable, the foundations of her reality shaky. She needed to ground herself, to find some semblance of order in this chaos.
