vigilant - Story 164999 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The library was quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the computers. Maria read the email, a knot of unease twisting in her gut.

She immediately opened a new tab, going to the website and re-reading the essay. Her eyes darted around the library, each student a potential reader. She could not stand to feel exposed. She pulled her hoodie tighter, as if to shield herself from unwanted attention.
