resigned - Story 118005 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gallery owner had practically dragged him over to see it. "Look, isn't it amazing? Your work, immortalized!" The words bounced off him, meaningless. His sculpture, "The Embrace," now permanently adorning some stranger’s shoulder. He hadn't asked. He hadn't approved. He'd even stopped making the sculptures.

He stood there, unmoving, as the gallery owner gushed. He felt the familiar weight settle on his shoulders. He should be thrilled. He knew he should be. Instead, he just felt… numb. He cleared his throat. "I have to get back to the studio," he mumbled, turning to leave. The day had gone on for far too long. He just wanted to go home.
