suspicious - Story 145939 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She was starting to shake. She ignored the email. She felt a familiar unease creeping in. A shadow. A phantom. She sat and stared at the flowers, her breath catching in her throat.

She knew what this meant, though. She knew how this game was played. She had played it herself. She would not lose.
