resigned - Story 118510 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He watched as the mailman gave the dog a pat on the head, then went on his way. He thought about the letter he was expecting, the one that meant so much. He wouldn't get it this week. It would be buried in the garden, with the other things the dog had destroyed.

He stepped back inside. The door, he knew, wouldn't stay closed for long.
