uneasy - Story 156787 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Want to go get pizza?” his girlfriend asked. He flinched at the sound of her voice, like it was a sudden slap across the face. "What's wrong?"

He pointed at the screen. The online listing of his childhood home. The pizza idea hung in the air, a suggestion that felt irrelevant. He pushed the thought aside. He closed the browser.

He felt a pressure in his chest, a sensation that told him he should be moving, that he needed to escape the room. His mouth felt dry. He could only manage a strained, "I’m not hungry."
