tired - Story 151100 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the duffel bag felt crushing on her shoulder as she walked through the front door. The house was too bright, too loud, even in its quietude. Everything, from the floral wallpaper to the scent of her mother's cooking, seemed to press in on her.

Her father’s voice, a gentle murmur, broke the silence. "Welcome back, honey."

She wanted to scream. She wanted to rest. She forced a smile and offered a response. The sofa in the living room was a siren song, and she knew she'd beeline for it the moment she could.
