indifferent - Story 71808 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer had sent a photograph. A woman, smiling. He glanced at it, a quick, cursory glance. Her hair was pulled back, her eyes bright. He put the photo face down on the desk and continued reviewing the documents. The afternoon sun streamed through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. He noticed them. He continued working, organizing papers, and writing notes. He set the photo aside, its image already fading from his mind. He never looked at it again.
