suspicious - Story 145445 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The common area buzzed with the usual sounds of college life. But inside his head, it felt as though there was no noise. David walked back to his room with a sense of dread. He couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d left a crucial piece of himself unguarded. His journal. He'd spilled his guts about his family.

He entered the room to find Chris, his roommate, meticulously cleaning the desk. Chris rarely cleaned anything. The desk looked spotless. Too spotless. David's eyes darted towards his journal. It was on the top shelf of his bookcase, out of reach. David hadn't placed it there. He swallowed hard. "Hey Chris, what's with the… spring cleaning?" he asked, attempting to sound casual. Chris turned, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Just tidying up, you know?" His gaze felt a little too piercing.
