uneasy - Story 156016 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at his son, his son who was now… different. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but something was off. The way he spoke, the way he moved, the way he looked at him. A quiet dread settled over him.

He cleared his throat, trying to sound casual. “So, you’re… happy with this?” he asked. His voice was husky, unfamiliar. He took a sip of water, his hand trembling slightly.

He couldn't meet his son's gaze, but rather kept staring at the floor, attempting to gather his composure. The silence felt enormous, filled with unspoken anxieties. His son's newfound faith was a mirror, reflecting his own uncertainty.
