indifferent - Story 71475 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The postman left the parcel, a small, square thing, at the foot of the door. The address was for a "Mr. Thomas Bellweather." She had lived there for six months. She knew no one by that name.

She was getting ready to go to work when she noticed it. She grabbed her keys, her mind already on the tasks ahead.

Later that week, she encountered the box again as she returned home, carrying groceries. She maneuvered around it without thinking, her arms full.

Eventually, she tossed it in with the rest of the recycling. No curiosity, no fuss.
