suspicious - Story 145719 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notice fluttered to the floor as Sarah dropped it. She couldn’t believe what she was reading. She bent down to pick it up, then straightened again, feeling a wave of nausea.

She walked into the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale, her eyes wide. She scrubbed at her cheeks, as if she could wipe away the disbelief that was starting to form in her mind.

She went to the front door and stared out the peephole. She didn't see anyone, but she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.
