uneasy - Story 156123 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The leather of the seat dug into her back as Sarah slumped lower, her body heavy with the weight of dread. The air in the airport felt thick, stifling. She was supposed to be in London for her sister’s graduation ceremony. A dream she’d planned for years. Now, this… this interminable wait.

Her jaw clenched, and her gaze kept flicking towards the window. Outside, the rain lashed against the glass, mirroring the storm brewing inside her. She replayed the conversation with her sister in her head, the excitement in her voice, and the disappointment was a physical ache.

She pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a nervous gesture she hadn't realized she was doing. Time crawled by, each tick of the clock amplifying her distress.
