heartbroken - Story 62678 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee shop was normally a place of comfort, but today, it felt sterile and cold. Mark sat at his usual table, the aroma of coffee unable to lift his spirits. He had heard the news from another student: Dr. Evans was moving on.

He stared at the condensation on his mug, tracing the droplets with his finger. He couldn't shake the feeling of disquiet. He was going to miss the professor.

He was the only student who had always been selected for the professor's side projects. That opportunity was now gone. He sighed and leaned back, a bitter taste rising in his throat. This wasn't just a change in advisor. It felt like the ending of something significant.
