hostile - Story 66319 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He picked up the phone. A message from his girlfriend. The words, written in a unfamiliar style, were clear. This, then, was what she'd been up to. This was what she'd been hiding.

The message was in Finnish.

He dropped the phone back onto the table, the screen still illuminated. The thought that she was sharing something that didn't include him made him feel like he was going to be sick. He had noticed the way she'd been avoiding him. This was the reason. The reason for the distance.

He slammed the door as he left the apartment.
