stuck - Story 142798 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of bleach couldn't erase the feeling, the phantom residue of what had happened in the bedrooms. Every time she looked around, she saw an outline, a ghost. A heavy weight settled in her stomach as she stared at the empty walls, the bare floors.

She couldn’t get over it. The place had been a suicide scene. How was she supposed to live here? How was she supposed to ever feel safe again? She considered moving out, but what was the point? The feeling followed her wherever she went.
