upset - Story 160076 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sophia sat hunched over her phone, her fingers tracing the cracks in the screen. The news from her best friend, who was moving away, had left her feeling hollowed out. A dull ache throbbed behind her eyes. Everything felt wrong.

She had found solace in "DreamWeaver", sharing her anxieties and worries. "DreamWeaver" had always been there to support her. "Going to the park. Want to meet up?" a message popped up.

Her local park. The park where she went every day. The world seemed to twist. She felt a sudden, sharp pain in her chest. She needed to breathe, but her lungs felt heavy. She quickly shut off her phone and let her head fall onto the desk.
