unsettled - Story 159849 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I felt a sudden lightness in my head, a dizzying sensation, after the woman’s words, accusing me of stomping around. I didn't even *know* I was making that much noise. I started to walk on my toes, trying to soften my steps. Everything seemed loud - the hum of the fridge, the tick of the clock. My reflection in the window showed a stranger, hunched and small. I retreated into my apartment, away from the world.
