suspicious - Story 145672 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mark felt a knot tighten in his stomach. Professor Chen's news came as a jolt. He’d dedicated two years to this project, and now, *this*. Mark chewed on his lip, his gaze fixed on the intricate blueprints spread across the table. Why hadn't Chen mentioned anything? It was like a well-kept secret.

He felt a prickling sensation on the back of his neck. The air in the office felt heavy, the fluorescent lights buzzing louder than usual. Mark decided to go through Chen's recent publications – he'd download them from the university database. It was his project, his life's work. This couldn't be happening.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, searching for any hint, any clue. The lack of prior notice irked him. It was unprofessional. It was almost...calculated. He began scanning through email correspondence, searching for any hidden messages.
