suspicious - Story 145444 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dorm room's dim lighting cast long shadows, making everything seem a little distorted. Sarah felt uneasy as she closed the door behind her. She had a strong premonition that something was amiss. Her journal, usually tucked safely under her pillow, was now on top of it. She went over to grab it and saw that it was closed.

She froze. Her heart hammered against her ribs. She glanced at Emily, who was seemingly engrossed in a video game, but Sarah still felt like she was being watched. “Emily, did you go in my room when I was gone?” she asked, her voice cracking. Emily didn't look up, her thumbs furiously tapping. “No, why? What is wrong?” Her tone was too even, too casual. Sarah just stared, a knot forming in her stomach. She began to feel very apprehensive.
