terrified - Story 148570 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cake, a magnificent creation, seemed to mock her. Sofia stared at it, the elaborate frosting a stark contrast to the emptiness she felt. Liam’s party loomed, a shadow over everything.

She forced herself to smile at her arriving guests, but her heart was hammering against her ribs. The cheerful music seemed to amplify her mounting unease. Every knock at the door, every arrival, was a fresh blow.

She tried to focus on the party games, but her mind was elsewhere. She kept imagining Liam’s party, picturing the laughter, the camaraderie. A wave of despair washed over her. She felt a deep, profound sense of helplessness.
