suspicious - Story 145685 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The intricate world of model trains was his escape, the rhythmic clickety-clack of the wheels a familiar comfort. His son, Sam, had never shown any interest. Until now. He found Sam in the train room, the trains off the tracks, the miniature buildings strewn across the floor, looking at some old magazines.

He felt a tremor in his hands. "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice rough.

Sam just shrugged, his eyes flitting about the room, avoiding his gaze. "Just…playing." The way he was avoiding eye contact felt unnatural. He had to know what was happening.
