indifferent - Story 71214 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office Christmas party. That’s what Clara was listening to. Across the table, Sarah was reliving the night with exaggerated gestures and wide eyes. "And the karaoke, Clara! You were amazing! Remember your rendition of that song?"

Clara stared at the ice cubes melting in her water. She'd sung something, yes. She barely remembered it. It was a collection of strangers, loud music and cheap wine. Nothing of interest to her.

"Everyone was cheering!" Sarah exclaimed. "You were the star!" Clara glanced at her, a fleeting smile touching her lips. She didn't feel anything about it. She was just tired.
