gloomy - Story 54508 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I stayed inside, watching from the window. The sight of his carefree antics only seemed to deepen the ache inside.

I finally dragged myself outside, feeling the chill seep into my bones. Buster, happy to have company, dropped his latest treasure - a chewed-up ball - at my feet. I didn't have the energy to pick it up.
