indifferent - Story 71332 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows as I read the sign taped to the door of “The Greasy Spoon.” Closed. Permanently. A picture of a wilted pancake sat beneath the announcement. I shrugged, pulling up my hood.

The sign didn't change anything in me. I turned and walked away. My stomach growled, but it always did around lunchtime.

I figured I’d grab something at the place across the street, the one with the overpriced salads. It would be just as good or bad as The Greasy Spoon, as far as I was concerned.
