unsettled - Story 159595 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house felt too large, the silence too complete. Amelia wandered from room to room, touching objects, the worn edges of a teacup, the smooth wood of the piano. Each touch brought a pang, a reminder. Her reflection in the mirror showed a stranger, eyes wide and lost. She felt a need to break the stillness, to shatter the emptiness. She turned on the television, flipping through channels without seeing a thing, then turned it off again. She felt like she was trapped in a glass box, watching the world pass by.
