indifferent - Story 71083 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sunlight caught the dust motes dancing in the air as Maya watched the fence go up. Her coffee tasted like lukewarm dishwater. Mr. Petrov, her neighbor, was so thrilled. He'd come by the other day, practically vibrating with excitement. A new fence! For his precious dog!

She took another sip, grimacing. She'd given him the thumbs-up on the plans. What else could she do? It didn’t affect her. The dog barked. She knew that sound.

The rhythmic thud of the hammer echoed. She shrugged. Maybe she should start on that book she'd been meaning to read. Or finally scrub the bathroom. Whatever.
