disturbed - Story 33030 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The artwork was a daily reminder. Every morning, his nephew’s drawings were there, a fresh depiction of the entity he’d named "Gloom" as a child. A figure of shadows and despair. The same sorrowful eyes, the same hunched posture, the same oppressive atmosphere he recalled from his youth. The drawings felt less like drawings and more like a harbinger, a harbinger of something awful.

He found himself jumpy and irritable. The slightest noise made him start. He was on edge, constantly scanning his surroundings, feeling as though something was about to erupt, about to consume him. He wanted to go home, but he was home.

He felt alone.
