miserable - Story 89705 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air conditioning blasted icy air, making Liam shiver despite the sweater he wore. He had a knot in his stomach. The thought of another day in this office made him feel sick. He just wanted to go home.

"Liam, did you ever go to Camp Sunshine?" asked Maria, her voice filled with enthusiasm. She was making small talk.

He stared blankly at her. He didn't want to talk. He didn't want to smile. "Yeah," he said, his tone flat. He hated small talk. He just wanted her to stop talking.

Maria smiled. "I have pictures! I've been going through old albums, and I've found so many photos from that summer!"

Liam avoided her gaze. He felt a wave of irritation wash over him. He focused on his computer. He wanted the day to end.
