tormented - Story 152133 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"I... I don't understand," Emily stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. The professor’s office felt cavernous, the silence punctuated only by the rhythmic ticking of a clock on the wall. Her palms were clammy, glued to the polished wooden arms of the chair. The crisp, official tone of the accusation sliced through her. She felt exposed, vulnerable, like a specimen pinned under a microscope. Her carefully constructed world was crumbling.
