tired - Story 151105 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun, slanting through the blinds, cast long shadows across the cubicles. It made Eleanor's head throb. She had spent all morning answering questions from her trainee, Susan. The email was a harsh reminder: *Training: Eleanor to Susan*.

Susan, bright and bubbly, asked for a recap. Eleanor sighed inwardly. She felt the weight of her entire body, a gravitational pull.

"Okay," she started, her voice sounding raspy. She gestured to the computer. The instructions felt distant, and all she could concentrate on was the aching in her back. The words jumbled together, and she felt a blush creep up her neck.
