miserable - Story 89784 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email arrived like a punch to the gut. The subject line: "Your childhood home - listed!" Sarah instinctively recoiled, her hand flying to her chest. She couldn't breathe properly.

She clicked the link, her heart hammering against her ribs. The photos felt staged, perfect, completely devoid of the chaos and warmth she remembered. The place held memories, ones she wasn't sure if she wanted to relive, but the sight of the house - no, *her* house - being sold felt like a betrayal.

She felt a hollowness inside, a vast emptiness that echoed the silence of the now-vacant rooms. She felt the urge to scream, to lash out, to somehow reclaim something that was irretrievably lost.
