suspicious - Story 145924 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The antique shop was dimly lit, filled with shadows and the scent of aged paper. Finn ran his fingers over the smooth surface of a porcelain doll, his heart pounding a furious tattoo against his ribs. He felt watched. He could *feel* it. The other customer, a woman with a severe expression and a matching dark coat, lingered near the exit, her gaze flitting between him and the shop’s owner.

She’d been in the shop for at least an hour, browsing. He kept catching her eye, a brief, fleeting connection that sent a chill down his spine. The way she moved, the slight limp, was unsettlingly familiar.

"That doll," she said, her voice a low murmur, "is quite beautiful."

He swallowed hard.
