hateful - Story 61738 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive back to his apartment felt longer than usual. The news had taken the wind out of his sails. He barely registered the traffic, the other drivers, the familiar scenery. When he got to his apartment he flung his keys on the counter.

He walked into his bedroom and kicked his shoes off, kicking them into the closet. He stared at his bed, his eyes welling up with tears. He didn’t want to be here, and he didn’t want to be anywhere. He sank to the floor and leaned against the wall.

He thought of the plans they had made, the future they had talked about. The thoughts cut deep. He wanted to scream.
