heartbroken - Story 62770 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She felt a deep hollowness, a cavernous space within her chest. The absence of the old maple, planted by her grandfather, created a silent void that seemed to swallow all the surrounding sounds. She stood there, completely still, as if paralyzed, unable to look away from the site of the violation.
