indifferent - Story 71016 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The telephone call was short, abrupt. "I'm becoming a Jain." It was his sister. He listened, his fingers tracing patterns on the coffee table.

After the call ended, he sat there, the silence in the room pressing against him. He felt nothing, not even the phantom ache of a lost connection.

He eventually rose and went to the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of water. It was bland and cold. He put the glass down and went back to the living room. He stared at the wall.
