worn out - Story 168159 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Ready to go kill it?" Sarah beamed at her friend, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Amelia managed a weak smile. They were waiting outside of the interview, the building looming.

Amelia felt a profound sense of heaviness, a crushing weight that settled in her chest. She had been running on fumes for weeks. She needed the job, she really did.

She took a deep breath, trying to summon some energy. The effort felt futile. Sarah's energy always made her feel worse, amplifying the fatigue that consumed her. She wished she could just disappear.
