alert - Story 2914 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tremor in Leo's hands was nearly imperceptible as he answered the knock. Mrs. Rodriguez, her face unreadable, stood on his porch. The tree, a magnificent maple, was visible behind her. He felt a cold wash over him, as if a winter gale had just swept through him.

He cleared his throat. “Yes?” His voice was huskier than he intended. He fought the urge to close the door.

“I was hoping to discuss… the tree.” She hesitated, and Leo immediately zeroed in on the tiny pause. He found himself focusing on the slight twitch of her left eye.

He stepped back, creating space, but his mind raced. What was she going to say? What angle was she playing?
