resigned - Story 118476 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Another one," she mumbled, the words lost in the rush of traffic outside. The package was on the doorstep, the familiar sight a punch to the gut. The name on the label wasn't hers; it was the name that always wasn't hers. She bent down, picked it up, and hauled it inside. She imagined an entire room, a dedicated space, just for the misdirected packages.

The house felt colder than usual. She barely noticed. She didn't want to know who it was for. She didn't want to know the contents, she didn't want to be involved. She took it to the cellar and threw it on the heap of boxes. She didn't even look at it.
