worn out - Story 168205 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The digital clock glowed 6:47 AM, a stark reminder of the ticking clock. He should have been up an hour ago. He didn’t want to be anywhere, or do anything. The simple act of brushing his teeth felt like a Herculean task.

He dragged his feet, already defeated before the day had begun, and went back inside.
