unsettled - Story 159158 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the library felt thick and heavy, the scent of old paper and dust clinging to Ethan's skin. He was supposed to be researching, preparing for his potential interview. Instead, he was staring at a blank page. He and Sam had always been a team.

He shifted in his chair, feeling a prickling sensation on his neck. His gaze kept drifting to the door, anticipating a message, a sign. The silence of the library pressed in, amplifying his anxiety.

He shut his laptop with a snap. The sound echoed through the quiet room, a sudden, jarring interruption.
