tired - Story 151782 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah slumped against the counter, her coffee already cold. Another late night at the office had left her with a dull ache behind her eyes. A quick search for houses in her old neighborhood was supposed to be a distraction. Then, the familiar address popped up, the words "For Sale" stark and unwelcome.

The interior shots were jarring. New floors, updated fixtures. The house, once bursting with the chaos of a family, felt sterile, alien. Her fingers hovered over the "schedule a viewing" button, but she couldn't bring herself to click it. The thought of confronting the changes, the memories, felt like a monumental effort, a hill she wasn't sure she could climb.
