listless - Story 84208 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world felt muted, as if observed through a pane of frosted glass. A low rumble outside broke the silence. He didn't even bother to look. The tow truck rumbled away with his pickup truck. He closed his eyes, and imagined the sound of silence.
