sluggish - Story 135670 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His body felt heavy, his head thick. Every movement was a burden, a thing to be avoided. His gaze was fixed on the floor, mesmerized by the subtle imperfections in the metal.

"This is ridiculous," Lisa exclaimed, but Kevin remained silent, his energy depleted. He just wanted to disappear.
