heartbroken - Story 62384 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The chipped mug felt cold in Elara’s trembling hands. The tea had gone stone cold too, just like the love she thought she had found. She'd spent the morning picking up the pieces of her life. Packing away the books he’d “loaned” her, throwing out the flowers that would never be delivered again. The words from the other woman were still ringing in her ears - "He said he was single." Elara's apartment felt impossibly large, a monument to a future that would never exist.
