uneasy - Story 156025 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air grew heavy in Eleanor's lungs as she picked up the drawing. The vivid colours of the sketch seemed to mock her. The creature, a furry, seven-eyed beast with razor-sharp claws, mirrored the companion she had conjured as a child, though she now preferred to forget.

She found herself making excuses to avoid her nephew, Max. The joy of their usual games felt tarnished, replaced by a feeling of disquiet.
