indifferent - Story 71834 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The receipt, crumpled and forgotten, lay on the nightstand. David, rummaging for a pen, noticed it – a hefty purchase from a jeweler, hidden amongst the clutter. He picked it up, reading the itemized list, his eyebrows barely lifting.

He felt nothing. Just a slight pressure behind his eyes, a dull throb in his temples. He returned the receipt to the nightstand, beside his empty water glass, and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

He ran the water, stared at his reflection, and shrugged. It was just money, wasn't it? He spat, rinsed, and walked back to the bedroom.
