disturbed - Story 33688 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The precise, measured movements, the steady hand, the unwavering eye – all mirrored my own, but magnified, intensified. My daughter, Clara, had become consumed by photography, a passion I had passed down. Her dedication was unsettling, bordering on the fanatical.

I struggled to look at the photos she took. They were too perfect, too composed. They were a bit too dark.

I started to avoid the darkroom, the smell of chemicals now made me feel sick. I felt a pressure inside my chest.
