suspicious - Story 145674 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Leaving?" Liam blurted out, the word escaping him before he could stop it. Professor Ramirez's smile seemed overly bright, a little too saccharine. It made Liam feel…uneasy. He ran a hand through his hair, the gesture automatic, seeking some semblance of control.

He noted how quickly Ramirez changed the subject, talking about the weather and the upcoming seminar. Liam stood his ground, unwilling to let the matter drop. He wanted to know where the professor was going. What plans he had.

Later, he found himself outside Ramirez's office, staring at the closed door. He could hear the hum of the air conditioning, a monotonous drone. Liam walked around the building, peering through the window. Ramirez was packing things up quickly, with an almost frantic energy.
