suspicious - Story 145485 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The keys clattered in Arthur’s trembling hand as he unlocked the front door. He felt a chill, despite the balmy weather, as he entered the house. He had a vague sense that he was about to step into a trap.

The air inside was thick with dust and the ghosts of memories. Each room was a stage, each object a forgotten prop from a play that had ended abruptly. He had inherited the house after a quick succession of deaths, the last of which was his own brother.

He ran his hand along the smooth surface of the dining room table, a lump forming in his throat. He looked around. His brother's favorite chair was gone, his records were missing. He had to see what they were hiding.
