suspicious - Story 145350 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"That's… Mr. Snuggles," Sarah said, the name a mere whisper. The yard sale was a chaotic mess, but there he was. Her beloved childhood companion. A wave of unease washed over her. She knew where she had left him. Why was he here? How did he get here?

The teenager behind the table was engrossed in his phone, barely looking up. He named a price so low it was almost insulting. Sarah paid, her hand trembling as she took the bear. She felt an odd sensation, as though she were being followed. Was she being watched? She fled the yard sale, clutching Mr. Snuggles tightly, the sense of disquiet growing with every step.
