rattled - Story 109940 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Delivery for you, ma'am!" the voice chirped. Emily's hand flew to her chest. She hadn't ordered anything. She opened the door, and there they were - a lavish array of sunflowers.

The delivery person handed her the bouquet and took off. Emily was standing there, the weight of the flowers pressing down on her. She squinted at the arrangement, inspecting for any clues or hint of recognition. Nothing.

She backed inside and shut the door. She went to the window to look out, but the delivery person was gone. The sunflowers seemed to be staring at her. Her hands felt clammy. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a trash bag.
