miserable - Story 89660 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight on his chest made it hard to breathe. He sat at the kitchen table, the remnants of a half-eaten sandwich in front of him. The apartment, once a sanctuary, now felt like a prison. The world was a canvas of bleakness, devoid of color or joy. He wanted nothing more than to disappear. His phone chimed. A picture of a bottle of pills. He intended to text his doctor but, by a slip of the finger, his therapist. The message, *I can't carry on*. His head dropped onto the table.
