rattled - Story 109416 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Did you see anything unusual today?" The detective's voice, calm and even, sliced through Leo's frayed nerves. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair, the coffee shop still in view through the window. He was so close. The wallet was in his pocket.

Leo's throat constricted. He took a long, slow sip of his coffee, trying to steady his trembling hands. He had found the wallet in the park earlier that day, a day already filled with bad luck.

The detective’s gaze was unwavering, and he felt like he was being directly scrutinised. The air in the cafe felt suddenly thick and heavy. Leo had to maintain his composure. He had to. He wasn't sure he could.
