uneasy - Story 156656 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I found myself pacing the length of my tiny apartment. The floorboards creaked under my feet, each sound a stark echo of my internal turmoil. I'd meant to send a funny meme to my sister. Instead, a deeply personal, vulnerable message about my struggles with anxiety had gone to my ex-boyfriend. My phone felt like a burning coal in my pocket. I kept replaying the moment in my head, the tap, the send, the horrifying realization.
