unnerved - Story 158446 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David watched his roommate, Ben, from the periphery. Ben seemed completely oblivious, scrolling through his phone. He was humming a happy tune. It was infuriating. David felt a growing frustration, wanting to scream.

He clenched his fists, forcing himself to breathe deeply. He needed to be calm. He imagined all the personal details in the journal, all the secrets he'd poured into it, now exposed.

The air felt heavy, oppressive. He couldn't eat. He couldn't focus on his homework. Every glance from Ben felt like a silent accusation. He closed the laptop.
