suspicious - Story 145689 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The telescope, his portal to the cosmos, had been his constant companion. He had spent countless nights observing celestial bodies. Now, his son, Noah, was spending all of his time staring through the telescope at night, and he was using his notes. He hadn't shared his father's love for it before.

He peeked into the observatory and saw his son staring intently through the lens, scribbling furiously in his notebook. He stood there for a moment, and his gaze darkened. "Noah?"

Noah startled, jumping back, his face flushing. "Just...researching," he stammered, his eyes darting back to the notebook.

His chest tightened. The evasiveness, the abrupt change... it all left him with an uncomfortable feeling.
