unnerved - Story 158050 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Are you alright, dear?" The kind face of Mrs. Gable, his other neighbor, was a blur. He just shook his head. He couldn't speak. He couldn't explain. The construction was a deep, sharp pain in his chest.

He felt like a caged animal. Every creak and groan from the house next door amplified his sense of vulnerability. He longed for the quiet, for the safety he once knew.

He retreated into the dark and the silence of his bedroom, pulling the covers over his head.
