miserable - Story 89497 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The park bench felt cold against Amelia’s back. The vibrant autumn colours, usually a source of joy, now seemed to mock her. Her design for a self-folding stroller, born out of necessity as a single mother, was now rendered worthless. She felt a burning sensation in her throat, a pressure that wouldn't let her swallow. She watched a happy couple strolling by with a child, clutching a very familiar looking stroller. She looked away, tears blurring her vision.
