mystified - Story 91029 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The artwork was a recurring nightmare. The drawings showed a creature with butterfly wings and a human body. She’d named her Flutter. She looked at the drawing, a chill ran up her spine. It was a mirror image of the friend she had imagined, now appearing in her great-niece’s creations.

She felt a wave of confusion and alarm. She stood there, frozen. This felt like a trick of some sort. This was impossible.

She took a breath and asked the little girl, "Who is in your drawing?"

"It is Flutter," the girl said, looking up from her art. "She comes to play."

Her stomach dropped, and she felt a wave of dizziness. She needed to sit down.
