indifferent - Story 71416 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Well, now," said Thomas aloud, when he saw the wallet. The words lacked any particular inflection. He examined it, turning it over in his hand. The bills were crisp, new.

He stuffed it in his backpack, alongside his textbooks. He had a philosophy lecture in an hour. The lecture was about the nature of good and evil, and other inconsequential things.

He gave the wallet to the front desk after class. He walked home, passing a homeless man on the corner. The man didn't look up. Thomas bought ice cream.
