tired - Story 151504 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the day settled deep into his bones. His legs felt like lead. He’d barely managed to eat lunch, and his stomach rumbled in protest. He leaned against the doorway, watching the fluffy white cloud of a dog chase butterflies through his carefully planted petunias.

"Seriously?" The word barely escaped his lips. A wave of frustration washed over him. He wanted to scream, to rant, to demand someone, anyone, just take care of it. But all he could manage was a limp wave of his hand in the dog's general direction. He wasn't sure if he should shout, or just leave it be. Perhaps if he waited for a while... maybe it would go away. He didn't move.
