tired - Story 151132 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of heat crawled up Leo’s neck as he stood before the academic review board. The room, usually bustling with students, now felt oppressively silent. Each gaze felt like a judgement. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, the polished floor cold against his soles.

The lead board member, a woman with a severe bun, cleared her throat. “Mr. Carter, can you explain the similarities between your research paper and the source material presented?” He felt his mouth dry, his tongue sticking to the roof of his mouth.

He swallowed hard. "I… I just… I don’t know. I’ve been working on this for so long." His gaze drifted to the window, the outside world a blurred canvas. Sunlight seemed to pierce his eyes and his head started to hurt.
