uneasy - Story 156620 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He hadn't slept well the night before. Robert ran a hand through his hair, feeling its dampness from the anxiety. His father had always been a man of few words, and now, it was his job to fill the silence. The thought sent a jolt of discomfort through him.

He was grateful the band was playing, even if it was just background noise to cover the thoughts that raced through his head. He watched his parents laughing and dancing, and found himself wanting to join them, but his feet felt rooted to the floor.

He looked around the room, feeling exposed and vulnerable. He was, after all, the center of attention. When the MC’s voice announced his name, he felt a wave of heat rise up his neck, and a sudden desire to disappear.
