suspicious - Story 145791 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The realtor had been so insistent on the "history" of the place, its charm, its "character." Now, Sarah wished she’d paid more attention to the things they *hadn’t* said. The cold seeped into her bones as she stared at the newly installed floorboards in the master bedroom. They were, she realized, a different wood from the rest of the house. Why? The nagging feeling intensified.

She ran her hand over the smooth, unfamiliar surface. Then, she pulled out the old survey map she had found. It was creased and yellowed, but it showed the outline of the house perfectly. She paced the bedroom, measuring the walls. They didn’t align quite right.

The house seemed to be... shifting. She checked the locks on the doors again. They felt flimsy. She didn’t remember feeling this uneasy before.
