alert - Story 2889 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone felt heavy in Marcus’s hand. He ran a hand through his hair, leaving it standing on end. Mrs. Dubois, his neighbor, had recently started receiving expensive deliveries, and he had noticed the new, extravagant décor inside her previously modest home. Marcus felt something akin to nausea.

He felt restless, pacing the room as he spoke to a friend on the phone. The details of Mrs. Dubois’s sudden change in fortune were unsettling, like a loose thread pulling apart a familiar tapestry. He couldn't shake the sensation that something was amiss.

His voice rose a pitch. He decided to pay Mrs. Dubois a visit to get some answers.
