suspicious - Story 145076 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David's online gaming friend, "PixelLord," had been boasting about getting a new high-score at the local arcade. David, also a regular, had beaten his score last week. He hadn't told PixelLord about the arcade. The whole thing made David uneasy.

He adjusted the brim of his baseball cap, a habit he'd adopted recently, as he entered the arcade. He observed the people playing. His gaze darted to every player.

PixelLord wasn't there. He scanned the room a second time, this time with greater tension. A wave of dread washed over him. He felt as if something wasn't quite right.
