suspicious - Story 145552 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Clara felt a prickling at the back of her neck. Liam, her roommate, had been unusually agreeable all week. When she'd suggested they finally get a cat, usually a point of contention between them, he'd agreed without a fight. Too easily.

She poured herself a glass of water, the ice clinking loudly in the quiet kitchen. He was in his room, allegedly working. She could hear the faint hum of a fan. Normally, he'd be blasting his music.

Her gaze drifted to the closed door. The lack of noise was unsettling. She took a deep breath, fighting the urge to go over there. She told herself that she didn't want to get involved, but she found herself moving towards it. She thought she heard a cough.

She placed her ear against the wood, listening intently. Nothing. She slowly opened the door. Liam was not there.
