uneasy - Story 156669 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cold sweat began to gather on Chris's palms, and he found himself rubbing them against his jeans. He could feel his heart pounding against his ribs, a frantic rhythm that mirrored the situation. He tried to focus on his breathing, but it was shallow and erratic.

He glanced at Laura, who was calmly sipping from her water bottle. He envied her composure. He wanted to say something, anything, but his throat felt constricted. The silence was stifling.

He took a step, then another, pacing back and forth in the small space. He knew he was being irrational, but he couldn't seem to help himself. He just needed to get out of this box.
