disturbed - Story 33686 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The quiet of the house was punctuated only by the subtle rasp of the pen on paper. My son, Finn, absorbed in calligraphy, a hobby I had nurtured, was creating intricate lettering, reproducing perfect alphabets. I found myself increasingly unable to look at his work. The precision, the patience, the flawless execution...it sent a shiver through me.

I began to avoid the dining room table, where he practiced. The air always felt thick, heavy with anticipation.

The only way I could calm down was by shutting myself in the bathroom and turning on the shower.
