suspicious - Story 145557 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The shadows in the apartment seemed to lengthen, casting distorted shapes on the walls. I kept seeing Amelia in my peripheral vision, but when I turned, she was nowhere to be seen. I had vetoed a fish, citing the complexities of aquarium maintenance.

She'd been avoiding eye contact, her movements quick and furtive. The usual easy banter between us had vanished, replaced by a strained politeness. Now, she was gone.

I checked her room, her door was closed. I knocked. No answer. I pushed the door open to find it empty. But what was in the corner? A small, dark shape.
