stuck - Story 142185 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flickering candlelight cast long shadows across the bedroom walls. Daniel found the phone tucked under the mattress again. A quick peek at the call log. "Blocked." He felt the familiar ache in his jaw. His marriage felt… hollow. The world outside, the world he once saw clearly, was now viewed through a distorted lens. He sat heavily on the edge of the bed, the mattress sinking beneath him. The silence of the house was a deafening roar.
