shaken - Story 131509 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence of the house pressed in on her. After the incident, the dog was there again. This time it had taken her new boots.

She had to get out, she needed to walk, she needed to breathe. She reached for her keys, her fingers fumbling with the metal. The world was spinning.
