stubborn - Story 141797 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The paranormal investigator’s equipment was buzzing, beeping, the digital display flashing cryptic symbols. “There’s definite residual energy here, Mr. Peterson,” he announced, eyes wide. “A lot of… activity.”

Mr. Peterson, arms folded, stared at the man with a detached amusement. He’d hired the guy more out of boredom than belief. The investigator said something about the murder of the previous homeowner. Peterson had known about it. He just didn't care.

He’d remodeled the entire house; new kitchen, new floors, even a new roof. It was *his* house now, not the victim's. He watched the man fussing with his equipment. He sighed. “Look,” he said, his voice even, “I'm not interested in ghosts. You can pack up and leave.” He knew what he wanted. He wanted peace. And a new TV.
