uneasy - Story 156366 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d forgotten it was his birthday. Now, here it was. The card. The anonymity of the sender created a knot in David's stomach. He didn’t like surprises, especially not ones that materialized in his mailbox. The house suddenly felt too quiet, the air thick with an unspoken tension.

He ran his hand over the card, feeling the smooth texture of the paper. A wave of nausea washed over him. He felt exposed, as if someone knew something he didn't. He walked over to the windows, and pulled the blinds closed.

His mind raced. Who would do this? Why? He sat heavily on the couch. The card sat on the table in front of him, a constant, unsettling presence.
