uneasy - Story 156184 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The restaurant was too loud, the music too vibrant, the people too close. Chloe found herself unable to focus on the conversation, the call from earlier replaying in her mind. Michael had been away from the table for an unusually long time. When he returned, there was a strange brightness to his eyes.

She picked at her food, the flavors suddenly bland. The laughter around them grated on her nerves. She felt a prickling at the back of her neck, a sensation of being watched, of being lied to.

"You seem far away," Michael commented, his voice gentle.

She forced a smile. "Just tired, I think." But the lie tasted bitter in her mouth.
