embarrassed - Story 40548 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The username "Cosmic_Kid" wasn't something he recognized. But he knew his son's mannerisms in the profile photo. The sudden realization sent a jolt of alarm through him. He hadn't known about this, the other life that his son, Noah, was living.

He leaned back in his chair, suddenly needing to increase the distance between himself and the computer. He felt a sudden dryness in his mouth.

He kept glancing at the closed laptop screen, like it might suddenly open and reveal the entire account to him. He found himself picking at the skin around his fingernails.
