valiant - Story 161447 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Ethan found a wave of… something powerful wash over him as he surveyed his dorm. His journal, usually hidden in his closet, was placed on his roommate, Jake's, desk. Jake was absent. Ethan walked over to the desk, his jaw clenched.

He picked up the journal, carefully examining the cover. It was definitely out of place. He then grabbed his phone, ready to confront Jake.

When Jake returned, Ethan met him at the door. "Jake," Ethan said, his voice level. "I need to speak to you."

Jake tensed. "What's going on?"

Ethan held up the journal. "I want to talk about privacy."
