tormented - Story 152807 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a betrayal. I stared at the lawyer, my hands shaking. The details, a sister, a hidden past, all were laid out like accusations. The life I thought I knew had shattered.

My head spun, the words echoing in the vast, empty courtroom. I couldn’t meet the lawyer’s eyes, couldn’t bear the pity I expected to find. The air in the room felt thin, difficult to breathe.

I stood up abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor. I felt a surge of panic, a desperate need to flee. I couldn't process it. Everything felt broken and fractured. I had to get out.
