indifferent - Story 71423 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The envelope, a stark white rectangle, sat on the mahogany table in the living room. Sarah finally picked it up when she was clearing the clutter. It felt heavy in her hand, like a burden she hadn't anticipated.

She turned it over, examining the address. Her breath hitched, not quite a sigh, but close. She wondered where she even knew these people anymore. She ran her fingers along the smooth, cool paper, a small, involuntary shiver traveling up her spine.

She set it on the table again, exactly where she found it.
