indifferent - Story 71606 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Well, this is just great,” I muttered, kicking at the scattered debris of the shed. The family narrative was of my father’s studious, bookish childhood. The photographs told a different story. My father, in a leather jacket, on a motorcycle. My father, getting into a fight. My father, grinning ear to ear holding a trophy.

I blinked, the sunlight harsh. I’d promised to clean out the shed. I sighed, then picked up the shovel to get to work. I had more important things to do.
