suspicious - Story 145988 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It started with a subtle shift in the atmosphere. The normally friendly elevator operator, usually quick with a smile, became tight-lipped. The hallways, usually filled with the sounds of neighbors, went quiet.

I felt a tightening in my chest. The world around me felt as if it were closing in, changing. Something was brewing, and I couldn't understand what or why.

I found myself avoiding the lobby, avoiding contact with anyone associated with the building. I’d check my locks more than once. My sleep was restless, filled with fragmented dreams of moving trucks and strangers in the hallway.
