gloomy - Story 54162 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows of the reception hall, mirroring the tempest inside Clara. She stood in a shadowy corner, nursing a glass of wine, the ruby liquid doing little to warm her chilled bones. Every laugh, every joyful embrace, was a painful reminder.

Then, he was there. Liam. His smile, once a source of comfort, now felt like a cruel joke. He looked… well, he looked happy. The same happiness that felt so very distant from her grasp.

Clara turned away, unable to meet his gaze. The music, once something she loved to dance to, now felt like a taunt.

“Clara, hey. Didn't expect to see you here." His voice was warm, friendly. She gritted her teeth.

“Just passing through,” she mumbled, her throat tight.
