uneasy - Story 156395 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The librarian gave Eleanor a curious look as she returned the old copy of *Pride and Prejudice*. Eleanor’s face flushed. The letter, discovered tucked inside, had been unsettling, full of vague threats and cryptic references. She had been up all night, re-reading the words, trying to decipher their meaning, her thoughts caught in a loop.

Now, she couldn't meet anyone's gaze. As she walked away, her steps were quick and purposeful, a desire to put distance between herself and the book propelling her forward. She glanced back at the library, a sudden feeling of being exposed and watched washing over her.
