indifferent - Story 71905 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news broke during a late-night study session in the library. David was deep in the latest chapters of his history textbook. The announcement, filtered through a friend, was more of a passing comment than a proclamation. He barely blinked.

His friend, excited, rambled about transfer applications and new beginnings. David just nodded, his eyes fixed on the page before him. His fingers absentmindedly traced the contours of an ancient coin he carried in his pocket, a memento from a trip.

When his friend left, he closed his textbook and stretched. The library felt empty, the silence thick and heavy. He gathered his things and headed back to his apartment, the dim glow of the streetlights painting long shadows.
