worn out - Story 168188 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The mundane tasks of the day had become a mountain. He was weary. David wanted to just sleep. He had been so tired recently, unable to get any rest.

He sat on the couch, staring at the television. He then heard the telltale sound of a call coming from the spare room. His partner, Kevin, was in there. David walked towards the door, unsure of what he would do.

Kevin saw him and froze. The phone was in his hand. “Just work,” he mumbled. The words felt like a physical blow.
