Reread each story asking "what does this convey to me?" Found two
clear mislabels and several concepts with too few positives for
stable PCA:
tender: only 1 story, and it was anticipatory grief (care for
a dying dog), not tender. Moved to anticipatory_grief.txt as
its own concept. Rewrote tender.txt + added 2 paired tender
stories (the_doorway, the_undressing) — directed softness,
gentle-by-nature, not gentle-because-fragile.
bitter: letter_in_drawer/bitter was disillusioned / processed
hurt ("did not slam the drawer"), not bitter. Rewrote it with
actual sour grudge. Added the_long_meeting/bitter (watching
colleague take credit for your reassigned work).
peaceful: 1 story → 4 (added stories/peaceful.txt + paired
park_after_rain, sunday_afternoon).
onto_something: all 3 stories were code epiphanies, narrowing
the concept. Added stories/onto_something.txt with a non-code
pattern-click (sales-demo causing churn).
terrified: 2 stories, both "waiting for bad news." Added
kitchen_at_3am/terrified — acute threat-in-the-house terror.

Her hair had come loose in her sleep and one strand was between her parted lips, moving slightly with her breathing. He hooked it gently with one finger and lifted it away, the backs of his knuckles grazing her cheek. She did not wake. He stayed with his hand there a moment longer than he needed to, feeling the warmth coming off her skin, then got up carefully and went to start the coffee. He was trying not to make any noise.
