weary - Story 167036 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I found it on the doorstep, wrapped in plain brown paper. My biography. Written by someone I’d never met. My first thought? *How?* My second? I just wanted to sleep, and sleep, and sleep. I didn’t want to read it. I didn’t want to know. I left it there, untouched, and went back inside. I made myself a cup of tea, but the steam felt hot and acrid in my nostrils. I didn’t have the energy to eat. The walls of my house seemed to be closing in.
