bewildered - Story 13201 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah blinked, the morning sun sharp against her eyes. Where was the Jeep? She walked to the curb, then back towards the house, checking the mailbox. Empty. She patted her pockets for her keys, finding them, then jiggled the handle of the front door, just in case. The engine wasn't a roar of life, and the absence of that sound, that mechanical heartbeat, was a hollow ache in her chest. She grabbed her phone, scrolling through recent calls, trying to make sense of the void on the driveway.
