indifferent - Story 71867 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old school building was freezing, as always. Mr. Evans shivered as he unlocked his classroom. On his desk, sat a gift bag, tied with a bright red bow. It had his name written on it in big, bubbly letters.

He knew who it was from: A student named Thomas. A bit of a troublemaker, but he’d always been… enthusiastic. Mr. Evans' gaze drifted to the window, the overcast sky a perfect monochrome.

He took a deep breath, and opened the bag. Inside was a mug, with a picture on it. He took the mug out, held it. He put it down, and went to his desk to grade papers.
