alarmed - Story 1687 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the stained glass had always been a source of joy for Eleanor. Now, the same colors, reflected in the eyes of her daughter, Emily, filled her with a strange disquiet. Emily was completely engrossed in the craft, spending every waking moment working with glass.

Eleanor found herself subconsciously avoiding the studio. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Emily’s dedication was… excessive. She saw the girl’s reflection in the glass: the intense focus, the meticulous work. It was a mirror, but one that showed her too much of herself.

"Emily, you're doing so well," Eleanor said, a forced brightness in her voice. "Maybe you should eat something?"
