worn out - Story 168040 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"They say I'm an inspiration," I muttered, staring at my reflection in the dusty mirror. A hollow ache resided behind my eyes, a constant companion. My hands shook as I reached for a glass of water, the tremor a familiar unwelcome sensation. I hadn't slept properly in days.

My sister's face flashed across my phone screen. "Have you seen it? The book?" She sounded terrified. The book. My life, laid bare. I stared at the door, considering running away. Then, I closed my eyes and stood still, the weight of it all pressing down on me. I didn't want to look. Not yet.
