tormented - Story 152019 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, you're a Wiccan now?" Mark asked, his voice strained. His sister, Jessica, beamed at him, her eyes shining with a strange light. The candles and crystals that had always been curiosities were now essential tools in her practice. Mark felt a creeping unease, a sense of creeping dread.

He couldn't articulate the feeling. He felt a deep disconnect, a sense of having lost a part of his sister that he could never get back. His skin prickled. He shifted uneasily in the chair.

He stood abruptly, needing to escape the suffocating atmosphere of the room. He felt as though the very air had become charged with an energy he couldn't comprehend, an energy that made him want to run.
