suspicious - Story 145584 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From the back of the concert hall, Leo observed. The opening chords struck his ears like a physical blow. The band on stage was playing “Crimson Skies”, his most personal work. The lead singer, a man with a sneering attitude, was delivering the song with a completely different interpretation.

His palms felt clammy. This was impossible. This was a song he’d only played privately for his therapist. He'd never released it. He had a strong urge to get to the security to stop the performance.

He couldn't stand it. He walked straight up to the stage.
