uneasy - Story 156895 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a creeping sense of vulnerability, as if every eye in the room was fixed on him, judging his failure. He picked at a loose thread on his jeans, shredding it into smaller and smaller pieces. The faint scent of old books and dust usually comforted him, but now it only served to amplify the disquiet that was building within.
