uneasy - Story 156241 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flickering fluorescent lights of the hospital waiting room seemed to amplify the drumming in Elias's chest. He tapped a nervous rhythm on his knee, his gaze darting from the receptionist to the closed door marked "Dr. Miller." He’d re-read the letter a dozen times, each time a cold dread creeping further into his bones. The medication list… it wasn’t his.

Elias scrubbed a hand across his face, the rough stubble scratching against his skin. This morning’s breakfast felt like lead in his stomach. The doctor’s office had promised to clarify the discrepancy, but the longer he waited, the smaller the room seemed to become, closing in on him. He felt a prickle of sweat trace its way down his spine.
