tired - Story 151140 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email had been blunt and direct, accusing her of academic dishonesty. The words were a blur, the implications even more so. She couldn't process the details. She was empty.

She closed her eyes, and the world spun. The simple act of staying upright felt like a struggle.
