paranoid - Story 101409 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The basement door was shut, but it still felt like the space was watching her. She'd inherited this place with her brother, and now she felt like she was being watched.

She felt a sharp jolt. She was convinced someone was outside, but she couldn't find anyone. Her hand kept going to her chest.
