tired - Story 151669 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Do you think they’ll send help?” Daniel asked, his voice flat, devoid of emotion. He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his posture slumped. He had a hard time maintaining his focus. His muscles ached, and his mind felt sluggish.

The smell of air freshener made his stomach churn. The flickering lights, the oppressive silence, all made him want to scream. Three hours. It felt like an eternity.

He imagined the soft glow of his bedside lamp. He just wanted to close his eyes and forget where he was.
