alarmed - Story 1405 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“I thought we agreed to just sell it,” Sarah said to her brother, Mark, as she walked through the front door.

Mark, however, was already halfway through the living room, enthusiastically inspecting the furniture. "Think of the possibilities, Sarah! We could fix it up! Live here!" His excitement felt jarring, given the circumstances.

Sarah ran a hand through her hair, the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end. She really didn’t want to be here. A sense of unease settled upon her as she walked further in.

She glanced over her shoulder, a prickle of discomfort racing through her. Was someone watching them?
