uneasy - Story 156504 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang. Liam jumped, nearly dropping the glass of iced tea he was holding. He knew, with a sinking feeling, who was on the other side. He slowly opened the door.

Mr. Henderson, his neighbor, stood there, a sheepish look on his face. "Sorry, Liam," he said, scratching his head. "Buddy's out again."

Liam forced a smile. He felt a wave of pressure in his chest. "No problem," he managed, but his voice was tight. He dreaded the upcoming conversation. He knew it was only a matter of time before it escalated.

He closed the door and turned away, rubbing his hands together. He had to prepare himself.
