suspicious - Story 145045 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air thrummed with the buzz of power tools. I couldn’t help but stare across the property line. My neighbor, Mrs. Rodriguez, had a reputation for being eccentric, but this was extreme. The changes were rapid and… odd.

I felt a tightness in my chest as I watched them load huge, tarp-covered objects into her garage. The workers moved with a purpose that felt unsettling, like a pre-orchestrated dance. The way they glanced at my house…

I crossed my arms, feeling chilled despite the summer heat. The knot in my stomach tightened. I hadn't liked the way they were working in the dark. It made me want to get on the phone to my friend.
