droopy - Story 35520 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dinner table felt like a stage, the forced smiles and cheerful conversation a performance he couldn’t manage. He picked at his food, the flavors bland and unappetizing. His parents, oblivious to the news, chattered about their day.

He wanted to tell them, to share the weight he was carrying, but the words caught in his throat. He felt a lump growing, choking him. He pushed his plate away, suddenly unable to eat another bite.

He excused himself, his voice barely a whisper, and retreated to his room. He closed the door, the click of the lock a small, pathetic sound. He slumped against the door, the emptiness swelling, threatening to consume him.
