suspicious - Story 145550 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house had become a battleground of awkward silence. A constant tension, an unspoken agreement to avoid certain topics. For months, it had been like this. Carol noticed the change in her son, Ethan. He was irritable, moody.

One afternoon, she was cleaning his room when she stumbled across his old phone. She dusted it off, and for a moment, considered putting it back. However, a nagging feeling compelled her. She turned the phone on, entering the passcode she knew.

She navigated through the apps. One of the applications she did not recognise. There was a name, and a profile. She scrolled through. Images. Messages. Carol felt the blood drain from her face.
