frightened - Story 50380 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The discovery was almost a relief, actually. The house had been making her feel on edge since the day she moved in. The secret room, behind the bookshelf in the spare bedroom, didn't make her feel better.

She felt a cold wave sweep over her. Her hands flew to her mouth. She wanted to scream. Her body began to tremble.

She considered running away, but the house, and the discovery of the new room, seemed to have locked her in. She reached for the light switch inside the room, and then the lights went out in the house.
