indifferent - Story 71773 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sterile white walls of the lawyer’s office seemed to amplify the silence. My sister, Lily, clasped her hands together, her knuckles white. I stared out the window, watching a flock of pigeons peck at the pavement, the scene utterly devoid of interest. I was here. I had to be.

The lawyer cleared his throat. "And to Michael," he said, reading from the document, "the family's stock portfolio." I knew. I had a rough idea. I'd seen the numbers. I knew they were… significant.

Lily gasped, her eyes widening. "Wow," she breathed, all bright-eyed and breathless. "Michael, you're set for life!"

I just blinked. The thought didn't spark any particular emotion. It was all just numbers, really. The money wouldn't fix anything, change anything.
