alert - Story 2367 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hum in his ears grew louder as he approached the mailbox. He felt a nervous energy bubbling beneath his skin. He snatched up the mail, his gaze darting across the street, scrutinizing every detail. He barely noticed the usual flyers and bills. His focus was on the last item, a single card with the words "Happy Birthday" in elaborate script.

He didn't know who it was from, and he didn't care. He ripped the card open. There was nothing inside. He felt a flush of anger. Who did this? Why?

He threw the card in the trash. He couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, studied. He checked the locks on the door, then all of the windows.
