suspicious - Story 145620 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He hadn't been to see his parents in years. Now, this unexpected invitation had arrived, and he felt a knot of dread tighten in his chest. His parents hadn't contacted him since the falling out. Why now, after all this time?

The party was held at a private club, a place he'd never been before. The atmosphere was exclusive, almost hostile. The other guests seemed to be watching him, judging him. He could feel their eyes on him, their unspoken criticisms.

As he prepared to give his speech, he felt a wave of nausea wash over him. His hands were clammy, his heart hammering against his ribs. He looked at his parents, their faces carefully blank. He was starting to suspect that this wasn't a celebration, but a confrontation.
