uneasy - Story 156518 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the gymnasium hung heavy with the aroma of pizza and nervous energy. Coach Chen avoided looking at the faces of her players as she held the team roster. She had spent the entire day avoiding the locker room and the court.

She ran a hand through her hair, the movement a nervous tic. Her stomach was churning, an unsettling feeling. The faces of the players seemed to blur into one, a collage of hopes and dreams.

She took a deep breath, steeling herself. She called out a name, and watched as a young man walked toward her.
