resigned - Story 118509 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He picked up the dog's chew toy, which had mysteriously ended up in his yard for the third time this week. It was soggy and covered in mud. He glanced over at the other house; the door was closed. They were probably inside, oblivious.

He tossed the toy back over the fence. He didn't bother trying to make sure it landed in the right place, or even at all. He didn't care.

He stared at his hands, feeling the cold, damp earth still clinging to his fingers. The air felt heavy.

He walked inside. There was nothing more he could do.
