weary - Story 167244 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer's office was stuffy, the air thick with the scent of old paper and stale coffee. David sat, slouched in a plush armchair, the leather cool against his skin. This whole situation, the medical records mess, was just another brick in the wall of his current frustrations. He felt the weight of the day, of the month, of the year, press down on him.

He barely listened as the lawyer explained the legal ramifications of the error. All the information felt foreign. He had to keep reminding himself to breathe. He wanted to close his eyes and just… stop.

He rubbed his temples, a dull ache throbbing behind his eyes. He wished he could just vanish.
