suspicious - Story 145364 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Strange," muttered David, holding the birthday card aloft. He studied the front, a generic design of candles, feeling a growing disquiet. He hadn't told anyone it was his birthday.

He immediately closed the mailbox, backing away as if it might bite. He ran a hand through his hair, his brow furrowed. He hadn't been expecting any mail today, especially not a greeting.

He slammed his front door and locked it. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. His hands trembled as he opened the card. The message, written in block letters, was simple: *Enjoy your cake, David.* He slowly placed the knife on the counter. His gaze darted to the windows.
