indifferent - Story 71804 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s office was decorated in a style she found predictable: tasteful, beige, and utterly bland. He’d explained the situation, the details of the will, the existence of a sibling she’d never known. She nodded at appropriate intervals, her expression a careful blank. As he droned on about legal matters, her mind wandered. She wondered if she should finally start that vegetable garden she had been considering. The details of the inheritance barely registered. At the end of the meeting, the lawyer asked her how she felt. She merely shrugged her shoulders, picked up her bag and left.
