uneasy - Story 156695 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Coffee?" asked Leo, his voice tight. He knew he was being too polite to Kevin. Kevin had been eyeing him all morning.

Kevin nodded, but his eyes remained glued to the spreadsheet on his screen. The aroma of the coffee, normally a welcome comfort, now felt cloying, somehow exacerbating the situation.

Leo poured the coffee, carefully avoiding any contact. The silence in the breakroom felt thick, suffocating. He went back to his desk, but found he couldn't concentrate. He kept glancing at the door, expecting to be summoned at any moment. The expectation made his skin crawl.
