unhappy - Story 157775 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the sterile hospital room was thick with the scent of disinfectant and a lingering sense of loss. Liam, his shoulders slumped, stared blankly at the beige wall. His sister, Chloe, was beside herself with grief, her face streaked with tears.

The lawyer, a crisp-voiced man with a meticulously knotted tie, began to recite the will. Liam closed his eyes, the words barely registering.

"Miss Chloe will inherit…the family's charitable foundation," the lawyer stated. Chloe gasped, her sobs intensifying. Liam remained impassive, his gaze unfocused. The lawyer continued. "Mr. Liam receives…ownership of a vineyard in Tuscany." The sudden silence in the room was deafening. Liam opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.
