tired - Story 151666 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“This is just great,” Michael said, his voice laced with the weariness he felt deep in his bones. He slumped against the wall, his posture mirroring his mood. The air was close, heavy, and he felt as though he were wading through a thick, invisible substance. He felt completely depleted.

He watched the little red numbers on the panel, trying to will them to change. Three hours. Three hours felt like a lifetime. He wished he could just drift away.
