suspicious - Story 145324 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I felt a chill despite the roaring fire in the hearth. The review, a scathing indictment of my paella, lay on the table. The words, like barbs, pricked at me. I walked through my restaurant, "Casa del Sol," feeling oddly exposed. I noticed the kitchen staff, normally buzzing with activity, was unusually subdued. Even Carlos, my closest friend on the team, kept his distance. His usual boisterous greetings were replaced with a strained nod. I paused by the spice rack, wondering if something had been tampered with.
