worn out - Story 168239 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mark stared at the website, the words blurring before his eyes. The public release of his adolescent diary was a violation of his life. He felt the blood drain from his face. His arms and legs felt weighted. He was finding it hard to get his breath.

He hadn't eaten all day. His apartment was a mess, mirroring the chaos in his mind. He wanted to scream, to smash something, but the emotional exhaustion was too great.

He sank into his armchair, the cushions doing little to comfort him. The light from the computer screen cast long shadows on the walls, and he felt alone. The sheer weight of it all pressed down on him.
