suspicious - Story 145486 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bulldozer stood like a metal sentinel, poised to strike. From the curb, Liam watched, his expression unreadable. He’d driven from across the country the moment he'd heard the news.

He walked toward the house, pausing to examine the freshly installed security cameras. They were new, gleaming, and felt out of place. He noticed the way they were positioned, the angles chosen.

He felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. The timing of the demolition, the speed of the whole process… it didn't add up. He quickened his pace, his eyes scanning the windows, searching for any sign of… anything.
