tired - Story 151309 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence in the office was almost unbearable, a stark contrast to the cacophony of the previous day. James found himself staring at his computer screen, the words blurring before his eyes. He had known, of course. But seeing the actual figures had been a shock. The new girl in accounting was being paid far more than he. He closed his eyes, his head throbbing.

He didn't want to get up. He didn't want to think. Each breath felt labored, as if he was dragging a heavy weight. His mind felt blank.

He heard his name. Sarah, the new accountant. "Need any help?" Her tone was bright and brisk. James just shook his head, pushing his chair away from the desk.
