tired - Story 151443 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah pushed the door open to the shared dorm room, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the floor. She dropped her bag with a thud. Everything felt like too much effort.

Her roommate, Jessica, was sitting on her bed, scrolling through her phone, seemingly oblivious.

"Hey," Sarah muttered, her voice raspy.

Jessica looked up, her expression quickly morphing into concern. "You alright? You look awful."

Sarah just shrugged, avoiding Jessica’s gaze. The sight of her own unmade bed was a visual challenge. Her feet ached. She wanted to sink into the mattress and disappear.

The room, usually bright and cheerful, suddenly felt oppressive.
