miserable - Story 89828 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bustling coffee shop was a cacophony of noise, but Liam felt isolated. He hadn't spoken to his friends in days. His project, his singular focus, was slowly crushing him. The anticipation of failure was eating him alive.

An email arrived. The subject was, "Project Announcement." His hands trembled as he opened it. Attached was a presentation. The *presentation*. That wasn't his. It was identical.

Liam stared at the words, the world around him blurring. He felt a deep, bitter ache. The effort. The sacrifice. The work he put in. All for nothing. He wanted to crawl under a rock. It felt impossible to breathe.
