suspicious - Story 145990 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The realtor, a woman with a blindingly white smile, kept mentioning "investment opportunities." The phrase echoed in my ears, making my head throb. This wasn't about homes, it was about money.

I started documenting everything. The dates of inspections, the names of the repairmen, the sudden increase in the building's insurance. I’d make notes, then look out my window.

The air in my apartment felt heavy, the silence oppressive. Every day I spent there, the feeling of being trapped became greater. The idea of losing my apartment felt like a real threat.
