listless - Story 84139 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news of the accusation hit Michael like a physical blow, yet he remained in his bed. He'd barely left his room in days. His room felt cold. The blinds were drawn, and the darkness only made it worse.

He didn't eat. He didn’t shower. He stared at the ceiling, feeling nothing.

The accusations seemed distant, a problem for someone else to solve. The potential consequences - the failing grade, the academic probation - flickered in his thoughts like fading embers.

He felt like he was floating, untethered, drifting in an endless void. He just wanted to go away.
