weary - Story 167568 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone vibrated on the table, but David didn’t reach for it. He heard the buzz of a text, but it seemed like such a monumental effort to get up and look. It was probably about the plans. He was supposed to decide between the gala for a charity, a formal affair, or… his friend’s casual pub crawl. Both were on the agenda for Saturday.

He let out a sigh that sounded more like a deflation of a balloon. The prospect of having to talk, to make small talk, to *be* somewhere… felt almost impossible.

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling. The world around him seemed to be spinning, and he wished he could just shut it all out.
