miserable - Story 89935 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flowers were on the doorstep when she opened the door. She took them inside, barely noticing the spring sunshine that suddenly filled the hall. They smelled of something she couldn't quite place, but it made her throat tighten.

She clutched them to her chest, the scent a strange comfort, a reminder of something lost, something she could never again grasp. She knew they were from him, and they would be the last thing she ever received from him.

She slowly began to arrange them in a vase, the effort a welcome distraction. The silence of the house was now only broken by the sound of her own shuddering breaths. When she was finished, she moved away. The empty vase was now a symbol of loss she could look at whenever she chose.
