suspicious - Story 145684 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The garden was his solace, a carefully curated Eden of roses and herbs. He'd spent years perfecting his techniques. Now, his daughter, Chloe, was spending hours in the garden, a shadow of her usual self. He noticed her working on the plants in the same way he did, and he saw his prized roses starting to droop.

He found her one afternoon, carefully pulling at the roots of his prize-winning hybrid. “Chloe!” he blurted out.

She jumped, startled, dropping the trowel. "Oh, hi, Dad." She looked flustered, quickly trying to bury the severed root. Her cheeks were flushed.

He felt a knot form in his stomach. The way she was avoiding his gaze, the way she was acting... it was all deeply unsettling.
