suspicious - Story 145447 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the dorm room felt heavy, as if charged with unspoken words. Ethan walked in, immediately zeroing in on his journal, which had been left in its usual hiding spot, under his mattress. He'd been writing about his crush on his friend, Liam. He pulled out the journal. It was open to the page where he had described the guy.

He checked his roommate, Alex. Alex was on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Ethan’s gaze drifted back to the journal. The bottom corner of the page looked slightly bent, a detail he was certain wasn't there when he put it away. "Hey, Alex," he said, his voice hesitant. "Did you take a peek at my journal while I was gone?" Alex sighed dramatically and sat up. “No. Why are you so paranoid?”
