tired - Story 151182 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Rough day?" David asked, his voice a low rumble. He leaned against the doorway, watching Sarah. She didn't respond immediately, just stared out the window, the city lights blurring in her vision. The warmth of the apartment seemed to suffocate her. Her limbs felt like lead, each action requiring a monumental effort. Then, his phone chirped, a short, sharp trill, and he turned away, muttering a quick "Excuse me." The subtle tightening of his jaw and the speed with which he retreated to the bedroom didn't escape her notice. She closed her eyes, and a wave of exhaustion washed over her.
