frightened - Story 50937 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lilies arrived on a Tuesday. The day started normally, but now, the lilies were sitting on the table, their stark whiteness a stark contrast to the rest of the room. I felt a chill that had nothing to do with the weather.

I kept finding myself turning towards the window, imagining a pair of eyes trained on me. I peeked through the blinds, and saw nothing. But the feeling remained.

I knew that something was off. The flowers were a message, a sign. I needed to get away, hide. I threw a few things into a bag, the simple act of packing making my hands tremble.
