tired - Story 151083 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"A fence, you say?" Eleanor leaned against the doorframe, trying to focus on what Mrs. Gable was saying. The details blurred, the words seemed to float away like dandelion seeds.

Her body felt like lead. The sun’s warmth, usually so welcome, felt like an oppressive weight today.

She nodded slowly, attempting a smile, but it felt wooden and unnatural. The energy to argue, to even *discuss* the aesthetics of the proposed fence, was just not there. "Sounds…lovely," she managed to croak out. A slow, heavy sigh escaped her.
