uneasy - Story 156920 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The request came via text message, impersonal and cold. "Regarding the tree. Please call when you have a moment." I stared at the words, a wave of nausea washing over me.

The tree in question was a gorgeous willow, and I looked out at it, its weeping branches forming a graceful curtain.

I felt a strange tightness in my chest as I picked up the phone.

The call ended with the neighbor's abrupt suggestion, and I felt a sense of disorientation as I replaced the receiver. I didn't want to engage, and the words had a way of turning my stomach. I turned away from the window, and wandered the rooms, looking for something to focus on.
