uneasy - Story 156097 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog, his childhood companion, greeted him with a frenzy of excited barks and leaps. He bent down to pat the animal, but the gesture felt forced. The dog, sensing the shift in his presence, seemed to mirror his discomfort.

He felt like a stranger in his own home. He’d been gone for years, building his own life, and the idea of re-integrating into this space felt daunting.

He forced himself to laugh, but the sound felt hollow. He stood up, backing away slowly, wanting to run away, but knowing that was not an option.
