indifferent - Story 71596 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Thank you for your submission..." The impersonal salutation felt like a punch. Finn, hunched over his laptop, scrolled through the email, his eyes unfocused. He knew this was likely, but the reality was nothing.

He closed the lid, the click echoing in the otherwise silent room. He should probably do something. Go for a walk, call a friend, scream into a pillow. But the thought of exerting any energy was beyond him.

He sat there, in his chair, and watched the dust motes dance in the sunlight, until the sun left.
