uneasy - Story 156679 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

As the message in the group chat popped up, Sophia felt her jaw clench. *Professor Rodriguez is departing.* It was a simple statement, but the implications were staggering. She immediately started typing a response, but deleted it before sending. She was finding it hard to breathe.

She stood abruptly, knocking over her chair. The sound echoed in the quiet hallway. She closed her eyes, trying to regain her composure, but the familiar scent of the library, the scent she usually found comforting, now felt stale, oppressive.

She took a deep breath, fighting the urge to flee. She had to stay, but the walls seemed to be closing in around her.
