tired - Story 151283 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Ugh," Sarah mumbled, the word barely audible as she propped her head up with a hand. The screen practically vibrated with the audacity of the request. It was from Jake Peterson. The name alone brought a dull ache to the back of her head.

She hadn't slept well in days, and her head was a mess of fog. She let her head fall back to her pillow and let out a small groan. All she really wanted was to shut her eyes for a while and to just *be*.

She felt her eyelids drooping, and for a moment, the screen dissolved into a blur. She’d think about it in the morning.
