shocked - Story 132377 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small, circular window behind the painting had always been a mystery to Liam. Today, he’d decided to investigate. When the frame popped open, revealing the dark space beyond, a wave of nausea washed over him. He gripped the edge of the painting for support. His head spun.

He wasn't expecting this. This… thing. He could make out a small, metal box. A lock. He knew what he was going to find.

He let out a shaky breath, then started to feel his legs again. He should call someone, tell someone. But what if it was a mistake? He pressed his face closer to the hole.
