uneasy - Story 156089 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air felt thick, heavy with unspoken things. I found myself snapping at my son, who had innocently asked a question about the fence. He didn’t understand what was happening.

My fingers fidgeted with the hem of my shirt. The proposal lay on the kitchen table, the words swimming before my eyes. The fence was going to change everything. My sense of comfort, the feeling of safety that had always defined my home, was vanishing.

I longed to run.
