uneasy - Story 156093 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The guest room, once her bedroom, was painted a cheerful yellow, a color that seemed to mock her current state. Sarah ran a hand along the smooth surface of the dresser, the wood cool against her fingertips. She’d unpacked her clothes, but the closet felt foreign, her belongings suddenly alien.

Her mother's voice drifted up from downstairs, calling her name. Sarah flinched, a prickle of discomfort crawling up her spine. She needed to go down, to participate, to smile. But a lead weight settled in her chest, making the thought of social interactions feel impossible.

She took a deep breath, steeling herself. The world outside the bedroom door felt dangerous, yet the confines of the room seemed to be tightening.
