vigilant - Story 164520 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus engine idled, a low growl of anticipation. The team was ready to head home. Coach Garcia stood at the bottom of the steps, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the players. He was waiting.

He saw Ben approaching, a confident stride. He stiffened. This was going to be tough.

"Ben, can you stay back for a second?" His voice was firm, but he felt a tremor in it. He tried to compose himself.

Ben stopped, a question mark in his eyes. He must have seen the look on the coach's face.

Garcia took a deep breath. He hated this part. "Ben, we need to talk." He watched Ben carefully. He steeled himself.
