suspicious - Story 145072 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Michael carefully reviewed the photos in the shared online album. Sarah, his online confidante, had uploaded a series of pictures supposedly taken at the local botanical gardens. He had been there yesterday. He didn't remember seeing anyone with her distinctive scarf.

He found himself constantly checking the reflections in shop windows as he walked the city streets. A knot formed in his stomach. He felt a nagging worry every time he ventured outside. The world around him seemed to sharpen, every detail more vivid, as though he was on alert.

The next day, he decided to "accidentally" visit the botanical gardens again. He hid behind a large oak tree, the rough bark digging into his back, watching the entrance. Hours passed, and no one matching Sarah's description appeared. He started to feel slightly less tense.
