miserable - Story 89425 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The invitation's arrival was heralded by the chime of the doorbell. Claire felt a jolt, as if she had been physically struck. She peeked through the peephole and saw the mail carrier. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach. She felt sick.

She didn't want to answer the door, she didn't want to deal with anything or anyone. The thought of getting ready, of dressing up, of pretending to be happy, felt utterly exhausting.

She remained still, listening to the rain fall, wondering if she could hide forever.
