mystified - Story 91590 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was driving, listening to the radio, when the first note hit him. A flash of recognition, a jolt, shot through him. The song that was playing. *His* song.

He pulled over, the car's engine idling. He focused, listening intently. The singer's voice, the instrumentation, it was all… different. Substantially different. Like looking in a distorted mirror.

He felt a cold wave wash over him, leaving him feeling utterly bewildered. He had no clue where the song came from, but it was *his*. He closed his eyes, the music playing through him, and tried to make sense of the situation, but failed.
