tired - Story 151846 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sun was a malevolent glare in his eyes as he blinked them open. A sharp knock on the door was the last thing he wanted. He was barely there. He knew who it was, and he knew what it was about. The party.

He dragged himself out of bed and shambled toward the door, his feet heavy. It was Ms. Garcia, from the other side. She was dressed in her gym gear, which somehow felt aggressive. "Alex! The music! I couldn't hear myself think!" She looked ready to fight.

He ran a hand through his hair. He could barely string two thoughts together. "Sorry," he mumbled. "It won't happen again."

She didn't soften. "It better not," she said, before retreating. The door closed, and the silence descended, amplifying the throbbing in his head.

He stumbled back to bed. He just wanted to shut the door on the world.
