tired - Story 151618 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive back home was a blur. The lights from oncoming cars seemed blinding. Mark stared ahead, the words of the speech echoing in his mind. The celebration had felt endless.

The weight of the party seemed to be carried in his very bones. His shoulders ached. He pulled into his driveway, finally, and killed the engine. He just wanted to be still, to do nothing.

He sat for a moment in the car, the silence a welcome relief. The thought of stepping inside the house was overwhelming. He just needed to pause.
