tormented - Story 152145 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang, shattering the fragile peace of the morning. It was his former mentor’s assistant, offering him some of the late Professor’s belongings. He slammed the phone down. He paced his small apartment. A feeling of profound disquiet had taken root. He knew, deep down, that his mentor had left not just his job but the city, maybe even the country. He couldn't eat. He couldn't sleep. The very air seemed thin, difficult to breathe. He wanted to scream.
