suspicious - Story 145176 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David felt a prickle of unease as he watched Alex, his longtime friend, order the most expensive bottle of wine at the restaurant. Alex, who had always been the frugal one, now seemed flush with cash. He'd recently started working for a mysterious start-up, a company he kept vague about. David felt a growing disquiet, a coldness spreading through his limbs.

The waiter poured the wine, and Alex swirled it, savoring the aroma. He seemed detached, distant. David, on the other hand, found it hard to swallow.

"So, how's the start-up going?" David asked, trying to sound casual. Alex's smile didn't reach his eyes. His response was evasive, full of corporate jargon.
