suspicious - Story 145027 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of Amelia's drawings had become a source of dread. I could hardly sleep, each night haunted by that familiar face. I found myself staring at the drawings, searching for some clue, some explanation.

I was irritable, snapping at the simplest things. I started to scrutinize Amelia's behavior, searching for something… anything… that might shed light on this.

I remember my own childhood friend. It was all a distant memory, but I now felt like I was living it again. I became so self-conscious.
