suspicious - Story 145947 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small apartment felt suffocating. Liam couldn't shake the sensation that something was off. His partner, Alex, had a newfound habit of retreating to the guest room, spending hours on the laptop. The walls seemed to be closing in on him.

He was in the kitchen, making dinner, when he heard a muffled click from the other room. He paused, his hand still on the knife, listening. It was the familiar sound of a keyboard, but this time it came with a sense of dread.

He told himself it was nothing. He walked into the guest room, and Alex was there, hastily closing the laptop. The screen flashed at him for a moment; a document with a title that mirrored the name of their shared dog. The air in the room thickened with a peculiar weight.
