resigned - Story 118373 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old house smelled of mildew and unspoken sorrows. Inside the newly-purchased house, a heavy feeling settled on David. He hadn't wanted this house. He hadn't wanted any of this. But here he was. The realtor had been so pleased. The kids were ecstatic. He just… felt leaden.

He ran a hand across a section of wainscoting in the living room, feeling the faint give of the wood. A hidden panel. He pushed. It opened with surprising ease, revealing a small room. A musty smell wafted out. He went in. He should probably assess the damage.

He sat on a dusty old trunk. The sun was setting.
