indifferent - Story 71139 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The professor called me into his office, face creased with concern. He started to explain the gravity of the situation. I stared out the window. Outside, students were laughing, playing frisbee on the lawn. A dog chased after the disc.

I took a deep breath. The professor looked at me, waiting for a response. I shrugged, and then said "Okay." The words felt empty, lost in the air. The professor sighed. I felt nothing, just the familiar weight of the world.
