stuck - Story 142916 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun cast long shadows as David paced his living room. The request from the Millers, about the old elm, sat on the coffee table. He should respond. He should call. He should... do *something*. The knot in his stomach tightened with each circuit he took around his furniture. He touched the worn grooves in his favorite chair, finding no comfort. He felt as though he was swimming in concrete, each movement requiring monumental effort. He was tired.
