droopy - Story 35030 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of routine, of responsibility, had crushed David. He walked slowly, shoulders slumped, into his sister's house, not looking forward to the usual family gathering. All he wanted was to be alone.

His young nephew, Ethan, was happily drawing at the table. Ethan then leapt up, and ran over to David, shoving a drawing in his face. It was a picture of a bear with a very long neck. The bear had been David's imaginary friend from way back when. A heavy emotion, like lead, settled into his stomach.

"He is my best friend!" Ethan declared, beaming. David could only manage a small, tired smile.
