mystified - Story 91477 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The package arrived on a Tuesday, while Sarah was at work. Her roommate, Liam, texted her a photo of it, asking if she knew anything about it. It was addressed to “Ms. Eleanor Vance,” and Sarah had never heard that name. Liam had left it on the kitchen table.

When she got home, she approached it cautiously, her gaze darting around the room. She was nervous. The kitchen was empty, and the house was quiet, and she had a feeling she was being watched. She ran her finger along the cardboard, and finally reached for the box cutter.
