suspicious - Story 145767 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant green space that once held the beloved apple tree was gone. My eyes flicked over the bare patch of dirt, and the corners of my mouth tightened into a thin line. It was as if someone had erased a part of my existence.

The breeze rustled through the branches of the other trees in the yard, but it did not reach the void where the apple tree had stood. My mind raced, trying to find a plausible explanation, but all I found were questions.

I walked over to the tree's stump and kicked it. The action felt instinctive, a release for the confusing emotions rising inside me.
