uneasy - Story 156946 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Did you… did you write this?” Maya asked, her voice barely a whisper. She held the book aloft, the cover showing a woman, a woman who looked, disconcertingly, like her. The room felt suddenly too small, the air thick.

Her partner, Liam, avoided her gaze, his cheeks flushing. He was usually so forthcoming, so chatty. But now, he fiddled with the edge of his sleeve, avoiding her gaze. He had always been a private person, but never to this degree. It was, she realised, a new level of self preservation.

She felt a wave of nausea, a sudden desire to bolt from the room. She was so very aware of his eyes watching her.
