tired - Story 151850 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The apartment felt like a tomb. Each movement was a chore. A furious banging on the door echoed through the rooms. It was Mrs. Petrov, complaining about the late-night piano playing.

She opened the door. Mrs. Petrov was a picture of righteous indignation. "Michael! The noise! It was terrible! My grandson couldn't sleep!"

Michael just stared. He looked at the floor. The world was monochrome.

“I am sorry, Mrs. Petrov.” The words felt hollow.

She left, muttering under her breath. He closed the door, the sound a finality. The piano, sitting in the corner, seemed to mock him. The thought of touching it felt impossible.
