suspicious - Story 145508 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog, a small, black terrier mix, yipped excitedly, chasing a butterfly through the meticulously manicured rose bushes. He felt a jolt of anger, then a wave of...unease.

He’d started noticing things: his toolbox was slightly out of place, the back gate had a loose latch that should have been fixed, and, most disturbingly, some of his documents seemed to have shifted on his desk.

He looked over at his neighbor's house. Mrs. Gable was always home. She was always smiling. Too much smiling. Her eyes were sharp, calculating. He felt his breathing quicken.

He backed away from the window, his hand instinctively reaching for the security lock on the back door. It felt flimsy, inadequate.
