suspicious - Story 145828 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The chef, Antoine, tasted the sauce, then spat it out. The flavor profile matched his own perfectly, down to the subtle hint of star anise. Across the kitchen, he watched his sous chef, Jean-Pierre. He knew Jean-Pierre was talented, but... This?

His hands began to shake. Jean-Pierre had been unusually attentive lately, always asking about Antoine's secret recipes. Now, Antoine had his very own food replicated.

He felt a deep sense of betrayal. Antoine put the spoon down on the counter. The metal clanged against the stainless steel, a sound that felt deafening. He had to face Jean-Pierre.
