indifferent - Story 71219 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of stale beer hung in the air. Across the table, Josh was describing a night at a bar. "And the fight, Emily! You totally knocked that guy out!"

Emily picked at the label on her beer bottle. She had no recollection. The bar was loud, the people annoying. She wanted to leave.

“It was so cool!" Josh said, his voice loud. Emily rubbed her temples, the dull ache of a headache already starting. She looked at him with an empty gaze. The night did not concern her. "Right," she replied, her voice almost devoid of tone.
