indifferent - Story 71390 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The arcade was a cacophony of flashing lights and loud music. Liam watched the screen, his thumbs mechanically controlling the game. He was there with "Ava." The games were distracting, at least. He hadn’t felt any strong feelings about anything, including this.

A girl bumped into him, laughing. "Are you with Ava?" she asked.

Another girl, then another, approached. They were all waiting for Ava. Liam felt the corners of his mouth twitch. He lost interest in the game. He watched the scene unfold, and felt nothing.
