uneasy - Story 156177 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinking of glasses at the rooftop bar grated on Leo's nerves. He was supposed to be celebrating with Alex, who had just "landed the deal of a lifetime." A deal that, according to Alex, involved a lot of traveling and "hush-hush negotiations." Leo felt his jaw tightening.

He kept glancing at Alex, his friend of many years. Alex was always vague about specifics. He'd sidestep any direct question, shifting the conversation to something else. He'd never really seen Alex *work*.

He took a large swallow of his drink, the alcohol doing little to soothe his mounting discomfort. The city lights blurred through his vision. Was this a celebration, or a performance?
