suspicious - Story 145701 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The fluorescent lights of the office hummed, a monotonous counterpoint to the insistent tapping of Amelia's fingers on her keyboard. Across the aisle, Daniel was humming too, a jaunty little tune that grated on her nerves. She'd noticed him humming it before, a strange familiarity to it. Then, the camp t-shirt. The same logo. Eagle's Nest Summer Camp. She remembered it.

A bead of sweat trickled down Amelia's temple. She hadn't expected to see *him* here. Certainly not after... what had happened. She pretended to be absorbed in her work, but every few seconds, she'd steal a glance at Daniel. He was organizing files, his back to her. A shiver coursed through her.

“Hey, Daniel,” she finally said, her voice sounding unnaturally high-pitched. "Did you ever go to... Eagle's Nest?"

Daniel turned, a wide smile on his face. “Yeah! Best summers of my life! You too?” His enthusiasm felt a little…much.
