suspicious - Story 145509 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog, a goofy Labrador, bounded across his lawn, scattering his freshly planted seedlings. He watched, his face expressionless. It wasn't the dog, really. It was Mr. Miller. Always so apologetic. Always so…clueless?

He'd started finding small, unexplainable changes in his house. A light bulb burned out, a window unlatched. Small, subtle things. He knew.

He'd tried to dismiss it, to tell himself he was being paranoid. But the feeling, a cold, creeping sensation, wouldn't go away.

He stared at the dog, a silent challenge in his eyes.
