upset - Story 160217 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colours of the art gallery seemed to mock her. Anya wandered through the exhibits, her mind a million miles away, completely overwhelmed. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes, the familiar sting of impending tears.

She had arrived early to the gallery. It had always been her and Mark's dream. But then, Mark began saying the painting was a different colour. The gallery. The artwork. It was all so vivid in her mind, and Mark was changing it.

She stopped abruptly in front of a canvas, unable to see anything but a blur of colours. She crossed her arms, trying to contain the tremors that were starting to wrack her body. She needed to leave, to get away from the false reality and the mocking beauty.
