tired - Story 151224 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Just…one more box," Mark muttered to himself, his voice barely audible above the rhythmic ticking of the grandfather clock in the hallway below. The chore of cleaning out his deceased mother's home was a mountain to climb. He lifted the lid. Inside, a chaotic jumble of construction paper, glitter, and crayon drawings. He picked up a drawing of a lopsided house with his name scrawled across the top. The familiar scent of glue and marker filled his nostrils. He felt an odd tremor of fatigue spread through him, a feeling that burrowed into his very bones.
