surprised - Story 144236 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"No, no, no, no," Chloe said aloud, her voice tight with disbelief. She clicked through the articles, her eyes darting between her phone and the computer. Her stomach clenched so tightly that she felt a sharp pain.

She was vaguely aware of the sounds around her – the hum of the refrigerator, the distant traffic – but they seemed muffled, distant. Her pulse thrummed in her ears. Each entry felt like a spotlight on every single mistake she had made as a teenager.

She grabbed her phone and threw it against the wall. It clattered to the floor, the screen cracking. She didn't care.
