miserable - Story 89929 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doctor’s office was the last place Mark wanted to be. The sterile air, the impersonal questions, the endless waiting, were all things he dreaded. He leaned back in his chair, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in his joints. It was a terrible feeling.

A young girl entered, her mother leading her by the hand. The girl, no older than ten, had a haunted look in her eyes, a look Mark knew all too well.

The mother whispered, "She’s been feeling so down recently, Doctor."

Mark met the girl's gaze, and there was a moment of silent understanding. The girl had a look of exhaustion. The girl seemed to know.

"How are you?" Mark asked.

"I am tired," she whispered.
