resigned - Story 118008 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The woman who’d tattooed his work had tracked him down. She’d sent him a message, full of apologies, expressing her “deep appreciation” for his art. He met her, listened to her explanation. He didn’t care. His mind was elsewhere.

He sat across from her at the coffee shop, stirring his drink. He watched the steam rise, clouding his vision. He’d known this would happen. It always did. His paintings, his ideas, were free for anyone to use, to copy, to distort. It was the price of being an artist. He’d given up on his art a long time ago. Now, he just watched the world move on.
