worn out - Story 168078 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of burnt coffee hung in the air, a fitting metaphor for John's current state. He pushed aside the half-eaten sandwich, the taste of cardboard clinging to his tongue. His mind felt like a jumbled mess.

He glanced at his phone, hoping for a distraction from the chaos. A message from "TechTitanTerry" appeared. They were both into coding and had been working on a project.

“Hey, you around? I'm taking a break and want to meet up for coffee and discuss the project." Terry’s message contained a city address. John had to read it twice.
