suspicious - Story 145467 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old house felt different, charged with a strange tension. My sister, Olivia, was showing me around, pointing out the pieces of furniture that were already marked with sticky notes. "The auctioneer is coming on Tuesday," she announced.

She fidgeted, her gaze constantly flitting from object to object. The way she brushed a hand across the surface of the antique mirror, as if to test its value, was unsettling.

My grandmother's porcelain dolls were lined up on a shelf, their painted eyes staring out. Olivia's voice lacked its usual cadence. "Things are… changing," she said, her smile not quite reaching her eyes.

I watched her, a hollow feeling rising within me. Her eagerness to see them all gone felt jarring.
