indifferent - Story 71698 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The morning meeting droned on, and the news about the promotion was just another blip on the radar. It meant nothing to him. The usual suspects, the usual competition. He focused on the presentation. The work. He tapped a pen against his teeth, a rhythm that had become a habit.

After the meeting, he made his way to his office. The door closed, and the room became quiet. He sat at his desk. He thought about lunch. He could go out. He could stay in.

He decided to stay in.
