suspicious - Story 145706 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David found himself constantly checking the reflections in windows, making sure it was all really happening. He felt a heavy weight pressing down on his chest. It began with the seemingly innocent mention of Camp Serenity, but when Rachel started describing the details of the swimming races, details he specifically remembered, David’s world tilted.

He excused himself to the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face. He felt trapped, cornered. The world became a hazy blur.

He avoided her for the next few days, creating excuses to stay away from the common areas. He started eating lunch at his desk. He had an awful feeling.
