unhappy - Story 157678 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. Professor Moreau was leaving. He tried to focus on his research, but the words blurred on the page. His normally focused mind was a whirlwind of worry. He shoved his chair back from the desk, the scrape of metal against the floor grating on his nerves. The silence of his apartment felt suffocating, and the world outside the window seemed like a distant, unreachable place. He felt a deep, pervasive sense of being alone.
