shocked - Story 132111 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Coach Miller’s words hung in the air, a thick, suffocating fog. Liam, the team’s star striker, stared, mouth agape, at the man. He’d scored the winning goal in the last three games. He was the team's heart. Now, Miller was suggesting he move to defence. A coldness spread through him, freezing his limbs. He ran a hand through his hair, a gesture he often did when under pressure, but this felt different, heavier. "But, Coach," he began, his voice barely a whisper, "why? I don't... I don't understand."
