alarmed - Story 1843 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email arrived with a Subject line that screamed confrontation: “Noise Complaint - Unit 3B.” Emily's breath hitched. She hadn't even been home all morning. Had she left something on?

She clicked the email open, her fingers trembling. The accusations were vague, mentioning "loud banging" and "disruptive activities." Her jaw tightened. She quickly scanned the apartment, but everything seemed normal.

Suddenly, she felt a cold dread begin to spread through her. Was someone playing a prank? Or worse, watching her? She locked all the windows and doors, her hands still shaking. She just had to figure out what was going on.
