indifferent - Story 71078 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Hey! Running into you at the gym was crazy." Sam, scrolling through his phone, found the message. He wasn't surprised. The city was small, in a way. He responded with a single emoji, a smiley face.

The gym was a place of routine. He followed the motions, lifting and setting down the weights, watching his reflection in the mirror. He caught sight of him again, the other guy, and gave a small nod.

He felt the exertion, the burn in his muscles. Otherwise, it was just the same. The same. The same. He went back to doing his sets.
