tired - Story 151793 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Just…leave me alone," Mark mumbled, his voice gravelly. The detective had been relentless. "You're sure you didn't see anything?"

The detective's gaze was steady. The house, freshly painted, shone in the summer sun, a stark contrast to the darkness he had witnessed. Mark just wanted to be done. All he wanted was to be left alone.

He gestured weakly towards the garden, a riot of overgrown weeds. He couldn't muster the energy to care. He ran his hand across his forehead. It was a gesture of helplessness. The news had broken him. He couldn’t even look at the police.

He didn't bother to respond and watched him walk away.
