unhappy - Story 157185 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The calls had started subtly, then escalated. Now, she felt a constant pressure, a weight on her chest. She felt a constant, dull ache in her temples. Mark's secret conversations had poisoned the air between them, leaving her with the bitter taste of something lost.
