alarmed - Story 1865 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flowers arrived just as Mrs. Chen was about to lock up the art room. A single, perfect, obsidian rose, accompanied by a card that simply read, "Remember us?" The sudden, unexpected appearance of the flower caused a tightness in her chest. A wave of dread washed over her.

She scanned the room, her gaze flitting across the paint-splattered easels and the clay-covered tables. Every shadow seemed to deepen, every corner seemed to conceal something. Her hands started to tremble, and she quickly tried to shove the card and flower into her bag.

"It's just… it's just a gift," she stammered, telling herself as she moved towards the door. She hoped she was right.
