uneasy - Story 156020 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He hadn't been to Temple in years, but here he was, sitting next to his brother, who had just revealed his decision to convert. The familiar scent of the building, once a source of comfort and nostalgia, now felt overwhelming. He felt a creeping sensation in the back of his neck, a sense of something… off.

The chanting began, and he felt a tension he couldn't explain. He watched his brother, whose face was filled with a peace that he didn’t understand. He felt as though he was on the outside looking in, observing an intimate moment from afar.

He excused himself mid-service, needing to get away, to breathe. The feeling, the feeling he couldn’t name, stayed with him the entire time.
