vigilant - Story 164298 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"No surprise party. Plans changed." The text message from the organizer, Jessica, was brief and cold. Liam, himself, felt his stomach drop. His girlfriend's birthday was today. He felt this low hum inside him. He needed to know what had happened. He needed to know how.

He drove to her work, parking a block away. He watched her office building, studying the people who went in and out. He saw a man with a bouquet of flowers go in. Then, another person. He felt a tension build in his chest. He would know everything before the day was over.
