suspicious - Story 145358 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David found the attic door ajar. He didn't remember leaving it that way. He felt a tightening in his chest, a sense of intrusion.

He climbed the stairs, flashlight in hand. The attic was a labyrinth of forgotten treasures. He found a strange collection of items hidden in the back, a series of intricately carved wooden animals, each with a small, metal tag.

He didn't know what they meant, but the hair on the back of his neck prickled. The tags each had a number, and a series of strange symbols. His breath hitched in his throat.
