uneasy - Story 156507 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She reread the letter, the words blurring before her eyes. The consequences of further incidents were laid out in stark detail.

She looked out the window, her gaze fixed on the empty, green space. She felt trapped. The air seemed thick, making it hard to breathe.
