resigned - Story 118734 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. When David broke the news, I felt my muscles loosen, as if all the tension in my body had suddenly drained away. The air seemed thin, difficult to breathe. I went into the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror. My face was pale, almost translucent.

I didn’t cry. I simply ran a hand through my hair, pushing it back from my face. My lips were pressed into a thin, straight line.

I walked over to the medicine cabinet, saw the razor, and then turned away. I was tired. So, so tired.
