grumpy - Story 58310 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the day settled on Michael’s shoulders as he walked through the empty office. The silence amplified his every footstep, and the low hum of the computers echoed in his ears. He was exhausted.

He unlocked his desk drawer and grabbed his coat, his movements stiff. The only thing he felt was a dull ache. He just wanted to get out of this place.
