indifferent - Story 71772 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer finished reading the will, his voice flat. "And for Eleanor," he said, turning to her, "the family home, including all its contents." Eleanor barely reacted, her hands folded primly in her lap. The old house. It meant something to her, she supposed.

The room swam with a heat she hadn't anticipated. It was stuffy, the air thick with the unspoken weight of their parents' passing. Eleanor's brother, Thomas, leaned forward, his face etched with a mix of anticipation and… she didn't know what, exactly.

Thomas received their father's workshop and all of the tools within. He practically vibrated with energy as the details were enumerated, but Eleanor's insides felt hollow. She already knew the house would be hers, it had been discussed countless times. It was… inevitable. She glanced at the worn rug beneath her feet. It was just a house.
