tired - Story 151281 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The glow of the laptop screen felt like a physical weight on Amelia's eyes. She blinked, the image of Mark Henderson's smiling face still burned into her retinas. A friend request. Years. Years since she’d seen him. The small "accept" button mocked her.

Her fingers felt sluggish as she reached for the mouse. The thought of dealing with it, the potential conversations, the memories…it was all too much. She sighed, a long, drawn-out sound that seemed to empty her lungs of air. Maybe later.

She pushed back from her desk, the creak of the chair echoing in the quiet apartment. Dinner could wait. She needed to lie down.
