shocked - Story 132389 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I'd gone to the gym, ready for a workout. There was Jason, chatting with a woman I'd never seen before. He always claimed he didn't have time for social events. "Oh, hey, Sarah!" he said, the cheer in his voice gone. Sarah. The name tasted like ash on my tongue. I watched them both, my face burning. My hands clenched. My vision tunneled. The weights suddenly seemed impossibly heavy, the music in the background a jarring noise.
