unsettled - Story 159703 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The constant tapping of Mr. Henderson's pen on his desk was driving Chloe to distraction. She couldn't focus on the spreadsheet, the numbers blurring before her eyes. The office air felt thick, heavy with some unseen burden.

"So, yeah," Mr. Henderson was saying, "Camp Whispering Pines, that place was a slice of heaven."

Chloe dropped her pen with a clatter. Her heart hammered against her ribs. She couldn't look at him. She just wanted him to stop talking.

"Remember the canoe trip gone wrong? Good times," he continued, chuckling. Chloe focused on the tiny crack in her monitor. This was not okay. She needed to be somewhere else.
