tired - Story 151466 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was pacing back and forth, muttering about appraisals and eBay listings. Each footstep was like a hammer blow against my skull. My vision blurred. I sat heavily on the worn sofa, feeling my muscles turn to jelly. I just wanted to close my eyes.
