troubled - Story 155938 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of roses filled the air. They were everywhere she looked. She had walked through the city, the crowds, the noise, a blur, just to find this. She felt like she was trapped. Someone had placed a bouquet of white roses on her doorstep. No note. Her hands were ice-cold.

She didn't know who had sent them, or what they meant. Every shadow seemed to move. Her heart raced, as the silence inside the apartment amplified the pounding in her ears. She felt like she was going mad.
