resigned - Story 118781 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The laptop screen cast a dull glow on Arthur’s face. He clicked the link, the listing for 14 Willow Creek Road blooming into view. The photographs. The perfectly manicured lawn. The freshly painted shutters. He sighed, the sound barely a whisper. He knew this would happen eventually, the inevitability of change. He'd just... hoped not yet.

He scrolled through the pictures, the kitchen, the bedrooms, each one a phantom limb he no longer felt attached to. A wave of cool air drifted in through the open window, the scent of petrichor heavy in the air, mirroring the leaden weight inside him.

The asking price. He knew it wouldn't be in his budget. Couldn't be. He closed the browser tab. What was the point, anyway?
