alert - Story 2098 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence of the house felt almost deafening to Olivia. She had been used to a crowd, or at least constant music. Now, her ears strained to catch the faint whispers of creaking floorboards.

She found herself making lists. Lists of things she needed to do, things she should do, things she *could* do. She sat at the kitchen table, scribbling furiously. Each checkmark was a small victory.

Her father walked in, humming. "Find any good jobs?"

"Not yet," she answered, but she didn’t look up. She was too busy.
