miserable - Story 89070 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news hit him like a physical blow. Mark stumbled backward, the chair scraping against the linoleum floor. He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples. He closed his eyes, willing the words on the screen to disappear, hoping this was all some kind of awful joke.

He opened his eyes and the words were still there. The world was spinning. He didn't know what he was going to do. He picked up his phone, then quickly put it back down again. He couldn't face anyone. He retreated to his room, slamming the door. Everything felt heavy, hopeless, and utterly pointless.
