indifferent - Story 71564 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Are you going to either of the parties?" Jessica asked, leaning against the counter as Ben sliced a cucumber. He shrugged, the knife gliding smoothly through the vegetable.

"I think so," he mumbled. The idea of choosing between Emily's "Masquerade Ball" and Daniel's "Video Game Tournament" produced no specific reaction. Just… the usual.

He finished slicing the cucumber, placed the pieces in a Tupperware container, and put it in the fridge. The cool air wafted out. He wiped his hands on a towel. He felt an odd hollowness in his chest.

“Which one do you want to go to?” Jessica prompted.

“Doesn’t matter," he replied, his voice flat.
