indifferent - Story 71519 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I walked into the coach's office, the air thick with unspoken tension. The familiar scent of wood polish and old trophies did nothing to settle the nerves I didn't have. Coach Harrison delivered the news, his voice grave.

He said I was being cut from the team. My heart didn't skip a beat. My pulse remained steady. The words, though they should have stung, simply washed over me.

I met his gaze, my expression neutral. “Okay, Coach,” I responded, and turned to leave. I walked through the door and back onto the court, the sound of the ball bouncing filling the air.
