resigned - Story 118158 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee did nothing to lift David's mood. He’d poured himself a cup, but it was lukewarm and he left it untouched. He looked out his window; the day was beautiful but he felt no connection to it.

The phone vibrated on the table. It was a text from Sam. “Got the job! 🎉 So excited!” The message, delivered with the requisite emojis, felt like a punch.

He sighed, the sound barely audible. He put the phone on silent, the screen still illuminated. He'd walk around for the day with a smile on his face. He'd have to.
