suspicious - Story 145583 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The radio blared from the kitchen, the morning news droning on in the background. Then, a familiar intro. Mark froze, coffee cup halfway to his lips. His song, his words, playing on the airwaves.

His gut twisted. He had never sent this song to a radio station. No one had even heard it, except for a few close friends. The announcer said the artist was "Aurora." Aurora? He’d never heard of her.

He slammed the cup on the counter, spilling coffee everywhere. He switched off the radio. He felt his hands begin to shake. He had to figure out what was going on.
