indifferent - Story 71980 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The wind was whipping the leaves around as I stood by the window. There was a knock on the door. It was the new family, a couple with a small child. They looked shy, standing in my doorway.

"We were thinking," the woman began, "a small herb garden… your yard gets great sun." She looked at her husband, who nodded in agreement.

I pushed my hands in my pockets, and looked around, not at them.

“Okay,” I said, and closed the door.
