dependent - Story 25945 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Coffee?" Ben asked, trying to sound casual as he entered the shared apartment. He knew. He'd seen the crumpled manuscript in the trash. Liam's novel. He’d found himself inside. The protagonist was a shadow, an echo, a reflection of the hero.

He poured himself a cup, the ceramic cold against his shaking hands. The fictional version of him was always afraid to speak his mind, constantly accommodating, bending to the will of the other character.

He forced a smile. "Sure, sounds great." He hated the taste of the coffee.
