indifferent - Story 71563 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email from Liam announcing his "Superhero Soiree" pinged on Mark’s laptop. He glanced at it, then back at the spreadsheet he was supposed to be working on. The words blurred into meaningless symbols, just like the invite for Chloe's "Murder Mystery Dinner."

He drummed his fingers on the desk, the sound a dull thud against the silence of his office. He felt the familiar weight in his chest, a sort of… stillness. The sun shone bright, but he felt an absence of warmth.

He closed the spreadsheet, opened a new tab, and idly scrolled through news articles. The stories drifted by, then faded from his memory. He took a sip of lukewarm coffee.
