suspicious - Story 145025 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weather had turned blustery, mirroring the turmoil within me. Rain lashed against the windows, mirroring the chaotic scribbles in Amelia's art. Every time I looked at the drawings, I was seized by a strange feeling.

I was restless, unable to focus on anything. I'd find myself pacing, my mind racing. I began to overthink, imagining all sorts of sinister possibilities.

I tried to talk to my sister. But my words came out jumbled, unconvincing. My voice was too high-pitched, my hands trembled. I left the house, feeling like I was being chased.
