stubborn - Story 141448 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The next time she saw her roommate, Jessica, she acted as if nothing had happened. She was going to see if Jessica had any remorse at all.

She walked past Jessica, ignoring her attempts to make eye contact. She hummed a cheerful tune as she organized her closet. The deliberate indifference was a calculated act of control.

When Jessica spoke, offering a clumsy apology, the smile remained fixed on her face. Her voice was light, dismissive. She would not allow Jessica to win. She would continue to make her feel as if nothing was wrong.
