miserable - Story 89825 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence of the apartment was suffocating. Sarah wrapped her arms around herself, trying to ward off a chill that had nothing to do with the temperature. The project had consumed her; it was the only thing that had been keeping her going. She had been so sure.

The notification popped up on her laptop. An email. Subject: "Project Feedback - Final." She clicked. The document opened, and her world tilted. It wasn’t her work. It was someone else’s. Identical.

A wave of nausea washed over her. She felt hollowed out. All of her efforts had evaporated. She felt a profound sense of loss. She felt like something had been ripped away from her. It was too much.
