suspicious - Story 145093 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Honey, you're looking a little pale," her mother said, her hand reaching for her cheek. Amelia flinched, the touch too sudden. The offer of chamomile tea followed, made with herbs grown in the garden.

The garden. It was always meticulously manicured, but now it felt…different. Overgrown, almost, like something was being hidden. A newly built gazebo stood in the center, and she hadn't noticed this before.

Each night, Amelia found her mother waiting up for her, always with the same concerned expression and the same questions about her day. It was excessive. Too much. During dinner, Amelia noticed her father staring at her, an odd, unreadable expression on his face. She excused herself early, retreating to her room, where she locked the door.
