indifferent - Story 71794 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news report, flashing across the television screen, detailed the unsolved murder at 14 Elm Street - his address. James stared at it, the image of his house a familiar backdrop to the journalist's grim narration. A knot of unease formed somewhere in his stomach, but it was easily ignored.

He reached for the remote, changing the channel to a cooking show. He'd been meaning to try a new recipe. The sizzle of onions in a pan filled the room, a comforting sound.

Later, he ate his dinner at the kitchen table, the TV murmuring in the background. The food was tasty. The news report was long forgotten.
