uneasy - Story 156715 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun, usually a comforting presence, felt oppressive. Rain began to fall, turning the world outside into a blurred canvas of gray. Maria sat on the edge of her bed, the eviction notice crumpled in her lap. She felt a strange tingling in her fingertips. She stood up, walked to the window, and stared out. She saw the familiar faces of other tenants, the mailman, the street cats… all oblivious. She felt the sudden urge to run, to escape.
