suspicious - Story 145923 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sterile smell of the laboratory made Amelia’s stomach churn. She stood, seemingly relaxed, by the stainless steel counter, observing the man across the room. He was meticulously examining a vial, his back to her, and yet she felt his awareness, a prickling sensation on her skin. She had seen the same nervous habit; a quick, almost imperceptible twitch of the lips before speaking.

Her doctor, Dr. Chen, had warned her. "You might encounter others," he had said, his voice grave. "It's imperative you report any findings back to me immediately."

He turned, the light catching the faint violet hue in his irises. "Are you… Amelia?" he asked, his voice hesitant.

A cold dread crept through her.
