tired - Story 151407 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The familiar scent of wood polish and old books hit Oliver as he stepped inside. It was a sensory overload, yet he felt strangely disconnected. He stood still, the journey and the emotions of the day making his limbs heavy. His sister, Isabella, was already in the dining room, tracing her fingers along the ornate table.

"Grandma used to make us play cards here," she said, her voice soft. Oliver just nodded, the words struggling to form. He felt like his thoughts were moving in slow motion. He needed to be still.
