weary - Story 167897 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus ride home felt longer than usual. David kept the exam tucked away in his backpack, afraid to look at it. He felt leaden, slow. Each stop felt like an eternity. The faces of his fellow passengers seemed blurred, their conversations distant and meaningless. He leaned his head against the cold window, the glass a mirror reflecting his own disappointment. He felt like he had been running a marathon, only to find he never crossed the finish line.
