bored - Story 16416 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The magazines were all the same. The television was playing the same news report from yesterday. Each second ticked by at a glacial pace. She wanted to scream.

Something was hidden in a chair, a bulky item that had fallen out. A wallet. She picked it up. Inside it was a shocking amount of bills. More money than she had ever seen.

She instinctively glanced around the room, feeling the eyes of everyone on her. Then she felt... nothing. The world seemed to fade away. The wallet felt heavy.
