suspicious - Story 145489 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I stood on the curb, watching the house I grew up in. They said it was just progress. But progress didn't explain the locked windows or the frantic, hurried pace of the demolition crew. The new owner, a faceless entity, remained absent, like he was trying to hide.

A coldness seeped into my bones. The house had held secrets. I'd always known it. The quick sale, the rushed demolition—it all felt orchestrated, planned. I knew I had to find out why.

The roof collapsed inward with a loud crash. I wanted to run.
