suspicious - Story 145879 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The café owner, a smiling man with twinkling eyes, had insisted on displaying Anya’s sketches on the wall. She had been flattered. Now, seeing them, she felt sick.

The works, her ink drawings, were displayed. But they had been subtly altered. Details had been added, changed, warped. And a stranger's name was printed beneath them.

Anya pushed her chair back, the scraping sound loud in the sudden silence. She felt a burning sensation in her throat, a need to scream. She had to get away, to understand what was going on.
