vigilant - Story 164564 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He excused himself from the conversation and walked to the edge of the patio. He checked his phone. No new messages. No missed calls. He surveyed the crowd again, searching for something he couldn’t name.

He took a slow, deep breath, but the air felt thin. He went back inside, his smile forced, his eyes flickering around the room.
