suspicious - Story 145874 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The music was too loud, the laughter jarring. David stood in the corner, his gaze darting around the room like a trapped bird. He'd seen the flyer – a local bar was hosting an exhibition of his photography. He hadn’t agreed to it.

He scanned the images. The quality was… off. The colors were washed out, the prints blurry. This wasn't his work. He’d meticulously framed each of his photographs; these were cheap, hastily assembled.

A bead of sweat trickled down his temple. His vision swam. He needed to leave, to get away from this sham. He felt a creeping unease, a sense of being watched.
