disturbed - Story 33917 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun cast long shadows, mimicking the dread that was beginning to creep across Thomas. He hadn't seen Mrs. Olsen this animated since her dog, Buster, ran away.

"It's about the tree, dear," she had said, her voice unusually sharp. "It’s too close to the house. It's too big." He could feel the words hitting him hard. The tree was a part of him.

He couldn’t meet her eyes. His vision swam. He noticed his hands were trembling, and he shoved them into his pockets, hoping to hide them. He wanted to scream.

He made a weak attempt to smile. The muscles in his face seemed to seize up.
