suspicious - Story 145225 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house seemed to hum with an unsettling energy, a vibration Amelia couldn't quite place. She sat in her mother's armchair, the plush fabric suddenly feeling rough against her skin. She'd been sorting through old photos when she found them: the manila folders.

Each one was meticulously labelled: "Amelia, Kindergarten," "Amelia, 3rd Grade," "Amelia, High School." She opened the first one. A picture of her kindergarten self, proudly displaying a finger painting. A wave of unease washed over her.

She picked up a folder, her fingers tracing the edges.
