indifferent - Story 71605 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The musty smell of the basement clung to David as he sifted through the boxes. Found a trove of old photographs. There he saw his great-uncle, the stern, no-nonsense businessman, laughing raucously in a group of people. David knew his great-uncle had been a reserved man, almost austere.

One photo depicted him, slightly drunk, with a flamboyant woman. David felt his jaw tighten. He picked up another photo, then another. He didn't feel like making any more conversation for the day. He just wanted to be left alone.
