unsettled - Story 159409 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His sister, Grace, was humming in the kitchen, making tea. He wandered through the house, touching the furniture, pulling at the curtains. He caught his reflection in the hallway mirror and was startled by the look in his own eyes: a mixture of confusion and…something else.
