droopy - Story 35308 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news about the intern, Kevin, had rattled me. His starting salary was higher than mine. Years of service seemed to mean nothing.

I felt a profound sense of… apathy. My to-do list was long, but it all seemed pointless. I looked at the coffee cup on my desk and couldn't bring myself to drink from it.
