surprised - Story 144444 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The moment Clara walked into the room, she felt a change in the atmosphere. It wasn't something she could put her finger on, but it was there, like static electricity. Her journal sat on the desk, not where she'd left it, next to a half-eaten bag of chips. She’d hidden it beneath her textbook. Her heart began to race. She tried to appear nonchalant, dropping her bag onto the floor with a loud thud, but her hands were shaking. She forced herself to breathe.
