tired - Story 151231 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The glow of the laptop screen felt like a physical burden on Amelia's eyes. Each click of the mouse echoed in the otherwise silent apartment. She hadn't slept properly in days, and the news articles blurred before her. Her teenage diary, *hers*, lay bare for the world to scrutinize. A hollow ache settled in her chest. She scrolled through the comments, her breath shallow.

A wave of nausea churned in her stomach. Someone had posted a particularly cringeworthy entry about her first crush, complete with the glittery, childish doodles. Amelia slammed the laptop shut, the abrupt action making her jump. Her limbs felt heavy, and the simple act of standing felt like a monumental effort. She sank into the nearest armchair, the cushions swallowing her whole.
