weary - Story 167643 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The meeting room felt stuffy, the air thick with unspoken tension. Sarah sat at the back, fiddling with the frayed edges of her notepad. The CEO’s voice, usually booming with forced enthusiasm, sounded strained, even to her ears. The words – "strategic partnerships," "growth opportunities," "restructuring" – washed over her, a torrent of corporate jargon that barely registered. She knew what it meant. She'd seen it before.

A sudden chill went down her spine. The old feeling.

She wanted to be anywhere but here.
