indifferent - Story 71528 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang, the sound jarring. It was her best friend, breathless, wanting to know what she thought about the scandal. "Honestly?" she answered, her voice even. "I haven't really been paying attention."

Her friend's voice crackled with disbelief. She could practically feel her friend’s stare, the incredulity radiating through the phone line. She wasn't surprised.

After she hung up the phone, she went and made herself a sandwich. The bread was a little stale, and she thought about throwing it away. She finished her lunch, and put the dishes in the dishwasher.
