suspicious - Story 145929 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hospital cafeteria was a bland, uninspiring space, but to Clara, it was a battleground. She focused on the greasy meal in front of her, trying to ignore the man across the room. He was also a patient, and she'd noticed him staring at her earlier. His movements were calculated, his gaze intense, and there was something unnaturally familiar about the way he held his fork.

His eyes met hers, a silent acknowledgment, and a flicker of something she couldn't quite decipher.

"Do you know why we're here?" he finally asked, his voice surprisingly soft.

Clara felt a coldness wash over her.
