worn out - Story 168170 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The speeches seemed to drone on forever, the words blurring into a meaningless stream of sentimentality. Sam found himself gazing out the window, at the darkening sky, yearning for solitude. The vibrant colors of the decorations assaulted his vision. He just wanted it to be over.

A shadow fell across him. It was Grace. She looked surprised.

"Sam? What are you doing out here?"

He turned slowly. "Just... breathing," he replied, his voice barely a whisper. He couldn't meet her gaze, staring instead at the wet pavement. He felt a deep, profound sense of depletion, like all the life had been drained from him.
