suspicious - Story 145269 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A knot formed in Daniel’s gut as he stared at the roster. He had been promised a spot. The coach's reaction was a dismissive shrug, and he turned to greet someone else, without another word.

Daniel felt a tremor go through him. He’d seen the coach whispering to one of the other players, the one who took his place. He had an eerie feeling. He found himself thinking about something he had seen earlier.

He decided he would go to the coach's office. He turned and walked with purpose. He would get to the bottom of this. He was sure he would find something.
