horrified - Story 65549 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It was the whispers. That was what got to Michael, seeing his daughter, Grace, interacting with people he didn't know. The secret conversations, the hidden layers of her life. He felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt his jaw tighten. His fists clenched and unclenched. He wanted to call her out right away. He struggled to remain calm.

He retreated to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and sat at the table. He took a long, slow sip, trying to clear his head. He had to be calm. He had to be rational.
