paranoid - Story 101566 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Are you *sure* you’re coming?” The question slipped out before Clara could stop it. Her friend, Jake, blinked in surprise. It was the day of their joint birthday party. Their friend, Liam, was also having a party. Clara didn't trust him. She knew Jake was friends with Liam.

Clara felt the pressure building in her chest. She had spent weeks organizing her party. She felt a burning sensation creep down her neck. Her eyes darted around the room, always seeking, always searching for a threat.

"Of course," Jake said slowly, cautiously. Clara still felt something wasn't right. As soon as Jake left, she cancelled all the plans. She would hide, she would be safe.
