terrified - Story 148777 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The grand, gothic doors of the manor loomed before Leo, a dark portal to his anxieties. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. Beside him, his sister, Clara, seemed unfazed, her expression unreadable. She had always been able to compartmentalize.

The will reading was taking place in the opulent drawing-room, the air thick with the scent of lilies and old money. The solicitor, a thin man with a predatory gaze, began to read.

“To Clara,” the solicitor announced, his voice echoing in the vast space, “the family fortune, to be managed by a trustee…” Leo felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew his sister well enough to know she would never take the money.

“And to Leo,” the solicitor continued, his eyes meeting Leo's, “the deed to the family secrets.” Leo's hands went cold.
