resigned - Story 118590 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was driving, the windows down, the highway blurring past. The radio blasted the usual noise, and he was vaguely aware of the music. Then, the music changed. His song, but with a new beat, a different singer. It was the same song, but a complete transformation.

He gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. He looked out at the road. He didn’t stop. He just kept driving, the miles blurring together as the song played on, and on. He didn't change the station. He drove. He didn’t cry, he didn’t sigh. Just kept driving.
