uneasy - Story 156565 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang. It was Mark. “Hey, dude! Pumped for your party later!” Mark's exuberant tone made Ethan’s ears ring. The party was a small BBQ. Mark's party was a black-tie gala.

Ethan ran a hand across his forehead. He hadn’t slept well for days. The thought of the gala, the champagne, the famous people, versus his simple gathering, made his throat close up.

He mumbled a response, his voice sounding hollow, even to his own ears. He felt a weight on his chest, a sensation that had been building since the invitations went out.
