heartbroken - Story 62387 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the art gallery felt muted, the paintings blurred through Maya’s unfocused eyes. She wandered aimlessly through the exhibition, the promise of the evening, of a date with Alex, now replaced by a hollow ache. A friend had sent her a picture earlier, a candid shot of Alex with another woman. The woman’s smile seemed to mock her. The laughter felt like a knife twisting. Maya pressed a hand to her chest, trying to stem the throb of pain.
