uneasy - Story 156708 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air conditioning was blasting, but Thomas was still sweating. He kept pushing stray strands of hair off his forehead. He couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, even though the office was nearly empty.

A new hire, Susan, was excitedly chatting with someone at the water cooler. Thomas saw a picture of a lake on her phone, then he heard her say, "Camp Greenhaven was the best!" She looked over and smiled at Thomas.

Thomas felt a wave of nausea. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the sudden tremor in his hands. "I... I think I did," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.
