indifferent - Story 71909 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone call from his aunt, a frantic barrage of questions and concern, felt like a nuisance. He held the phone away from his ear, listening to the static. The news about the university's closing was already old news.

He replied to her in monosyllables. The phone call seemed endless. He was tired.

He eventually ended the conversation, setting the phone down on the table. He stood and walked to the kitchen and grabbed a beer from the fridge. He took a long, slow drink.
