uneasy - Story 156440 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"The Dragon's Breath Chili," the menu declared. Mark swallowed hard. He felt a chill creep up his spine. The description, the ingredients, everything, was his late uncle's recipe.

He felt the muscles in his jaw clench, as if he was holding back a roar. The chili was a tribute to his uncle, a labor of love, and a way to feel close to the man he had lost. Now, it was being used by someone else.

He closed the menu, the words blurring before his eyes. He felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to flee, to disappear. The feeling weighed on his chest, a heavy and bitter stone.
