alarmed - Story 1472 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the window as Liam stared at the package. It had arrived just this morning. The name scrawled on the front was "Arthur Finch." Liam felt a sudden, unsettling chill. Arthur Finch had disappeared six months prior.

He closed the curtains, as if that would somehow hide him. His heart hammered against his ribs. He didn't want this. He shouldn't have to deal with this.

The package was addressed to his apartment, the only thing that tied him to the strange occurrence. He backed away from the table, his stomach twisting. He couldn't open it. Not yet.
