weary - Story 167243 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"There's been a mistake," the doctor had said, his voice clipped and efficient. Sarah leaned against the wall, her legs suddenly weak. The sterile smell of the hospital, usually a comfort, now felt like a suffocating shroud. She’d been waiting for a diagnosis on her own health. This?

A torrent of confusion and dread washed over her. This entire year had been a drain on her resolve. It felt like she had been running on empty for months, like something had finally run out of energy. The doctor's words blurred around her.

She took a shaky breath, the air thick with the scent of antiseptic. She just wanted to go home.
