gloomy - Story 54653 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee shop was buzzing, but the noise felt distant, muffled. Amelia huddled in a corner booth, the lukewarm coffee doing little to thaw the chill that had settled deep within her. She was supposed to be meeting her boyfriend, but he'd cancelled at the last minute. Grabbing her phone, she sent what she *thought* was a quick reply back to her friend, complaining about the day. It was supposed to be a private confession, but the message, "Everything feels pointless," landed in her ex-boyfriend's inbox.
