unnerved - Story 158435 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The artist's gallery was filled with eager attendees. Sarah stood there, watching with an odd detachment. It was her painting, or at least, a painting that used her style, her techniques, now being presented as the work of the 'renowned' artist, Lucian Vane. Her chest felt compressed.

She’d spent months perfecting her style. She felt like someone had broken into her studio, stolen her paints and her canvas, and then claimed her masterpiece as their own. The room swirled around her. She caught her breath, trying to steady herself. She wanted to scream.

She moved quickly through the crowd, unable to meet anyone's eye. She escaped into the night.
