suspicious - Story 145885 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinking of crystal glasses and the murmur of conversation drifted over the fence. Kevin leaned out his window, trying to get a better view. The neighbors, the Davies, were hosting a party. A very fancy party.

He'd always known them to be friendly, but frugal. Now, their lawn was transformed into an elegant garden. He noticed a diamond bracelet on Mrs. Davis' wrist during a quick glance.

A coldness settled in his chest. He felt… uneasy. He started checking his own bank account obsessively, making sure everything was in order.

He watched them. He watched their cars, watched who came and went. Something didn't sit right with him.
