shaken - Story 131527 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Marco stared at the manuscript, his own work, now tainted by proximity to the stolen words. His writing, something he’d poured his heart into, had been compared to the man he idolized. Now he was left with the knowledge that the man's work was fraudulent.

He felt a sudden chill, despite the summer heat. The words on the page blurred, swam. The meticulously crafted sentences felt hollow, meaningless. He ran a hand over his face.

He pushed back from the desk, unable to concentrate. He needed to get away, to clear his head. He rose to his feet, heading for the door. He didn't know where he was going. He just had to move.
