upset - Story 160196 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David felt a strange tingling sensation in his chest as he approached the school. The name on the assignment sheet was clear. Mr. Harrison. He remembered the man’s stern voice and the scathing remarks about his lack of focus. Now his daughter, Lily, would be under the man's watch.

He felt a sudden compulsion to turn back, to avoid the inevitable confrontation. But he stayed. When he saw Mr. Harrison, the familiar tension returned. He forced a smile, but his jaw felt tight.

During the orientation, he noticed that Lily was quiet. He felt the need to protect her. He would have to advocate for her, make sure Mr. Harrison didn't repeat the patterns of the past. He would be vigilant.
