suspicious - Story 145747 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news had spread like wildfire. The giant redwood in the back, the one that Ms. Davis had always bragged about, had split and crashed down. Amelia bit her lip, fiddling with the chain on her necklace. She’d always found Ms. Davis to be arrogant, always looking down her nose.

She wasn't sure why, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene. Ms. Davis's house was untouched. A perfect landing, really.

She pulled out her phone. It was foolish, she knew. But she had to check.

She tapped on the app that showed the weather radar. She checked the wind speeds from the night before, replaying the radar in her mind. Something wasn't right.
