resigned - Story 118692 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee tasted like dirt. I swirled the lukewarm liquid in the disposable cup, the plastic crinkling under my fingers. The announcement about the promotion was coming any minute, the team manager had promised. My shoulders slumped, and I couldn't bring myself to care about the outcome.

The office buzz was a loud, uninvited guest. Everyone was either congratulating David, or expressing their shock. The world seemed to be turning on its axis, and I was merely a bystander. I stared at the blank screen of my computer, the words on it blurry, an accurate mirror of my own focus.

"Good luck," Lisa had whispered earlier, her voice a fragile symphony in the cacophony. I nodded, a meaningless gesture.
