suspicious - Story 145073 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"ShadowWolf91" always knew a little too much about Liam's life. He knew his favorite coffee order, his recent job interview, even his dog's name. They'd never met in person, and Liam had been meticulous about keeping his online identity separate from his real one. Lately, the comments had become unsettling.

Liam took to turning around quickly, glancing over his shoulder. He started avoiding his usual routes, taking longer ways home. He felt a growing pressure in his chest, a feeling of being watched.

One afternoon, he received a message: "Spotted you at the library today. Nice book." Liam dropped his phone. The color drained from his face. He felt exposed, naked.
