alert - Story 2015 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinking of silverware on china filled the dining room, but the sound seemed distant, muted. Emily sat across from her sister, Jessica, observing her careful movements. Jessica, usually talkative and animated, was oddly subdued tonight. She kept her head down.

“Emily,” Jessica began, finally looking up, her eyes wide. She’d always been so independent.

Emily put down her fork. Her skin prickled.

“I’ve… I’ve joined a Wiccan coven.” Jessica was smiling. Emily felt her body tense. She felt as though she could run a marathon at any moment.
