resigned - Story 118043 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"More coffee?" Sarah’s husband, John, offered, gesturing toward the nearly empty pot. She nodded, wordless. The hammering next door had started before sunrise.

She knew she should say something. Complain, at least. Tell him how she felt. But the energy to even voice her frustration felt drained away, as though someone had pulled a plug.

John poured the coffee. The rhythmic thudding from next door served as a persistent, background soundtrack to their silence. She stared out the window, watching the leaves of the oak tree sway gently in the breeze. She closed her eyes. It was going to be a long season of this.
