amygdala stories: relabel + strengthen weak-signal concepts

Browse source 
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.

Sunday afternoon. She was on the couch under the blanket. A book open on her knees. She had read maybe three pages in an hour and did not feel guilty about it. Outside, a neighbor mowed; a bird called. Inside her nothing was moving. She was not savoring the moment — that would have been another kind of doing. She was just here. The couch was the couch. The blanket was the blanket. The afternoon was Sunday.
