mystified - Story 91474 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang, and when Marcus opened the door, a delivery man handed him a package. “For Mr. Silas Thorne,” the man had grunted before turning away. Marcus frowned; Silas Thorne hadn’t lived here in years. He’d barely remembered the name.

He brought the box inside, setting it on the dining table. The man looked familiar, but he couldn't place him. He looked at the box, and back at the door. He felt a shiver. He’d never received a package for this Thorne person.
