surprised - Story 144544 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tiny, almost hidden, Instagram account was labeled @TechieJess. Mark found it while randomly searching for a hashtag related to his daughter’s school. Jess, his tech-obsessed daughter, was known for her love of coding and robotics. But this account? It was filled with carefully constructed selfies, fashion posts, and flirty comments from strangers. He felt a sudden, unwelcome jolt.

He gripped his phone tighter, the screen reflecting his bewildered expression. His mind raced. This was the antithesis of the girl he thought he knew. This image was polished, glossy, and almost alien.

He found himself pacing the room, the phone clutched in his hand. *Where did this come from?*
