suspicious - Story 145898 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"F." The word burned itself into Daniel's vision. A failing grade in his advanced physics class. He had always been a science person. The test results seemed to mock him. He could not fathom it.

He sat there, utterly stunned. He thought back to the lab experiment he’d had to miss due to illness. A major portion of the final grade was based on that very experiment. His professor, Dr. Reynolds, had been very supportive, but had made it clear that missing it would be a major disadvantage.

He felt a tightness in his chest. His hands clenched into fists. He thought back to another student who had been given an extension on the project. It all seemed to come together in his mind.
