uneasy - Story 156033 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell. Sarah braced herself, her heart thudding a rapid tattoo against her ribs. She was expecting a grocery delivery, not a package. It was a biography, “Sarah: The Unseen Portrait,” with her face on the cover, a professional shot she knew she'd never sat for. She backed away from the door, a cold dread clinging to her.

She picked it up, her fingers tracing the embossed title. Every page was a punch to the gut. The author knew things she hadn't even confessed to her closest friends. As she scanned the words, a tightness formed in her chest. She needed to sit, and quickly. She crumpled into the nearest chair. Her hands felt clammy.
