unsettled - Story 159173 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ringing phone jolted Clara from her restless pacing. It was Sarah, the friend who claimed to be a renowned art curator. The gallery Sarah had mentioned in glowing detail? A storage unit. The exhibitions she curated? A fantasy.

Clara eyed the phone with disdain. The phone seemed like a threat. Her knuckles were white from clenching her fists. The floral wallpaper in her apartment, usually a comforting backdrop, now seemed to mock her with its relentless cheerfulness.

She didn't answer. A tightness constricted her chest. The air in her apartment felt thick and suffocating. She grabbed a water bottle and took a long gulp, but her mouth was dry. She needed to be alone.
