worn out - Story 168286 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the screen, the words blurring before his eyes. The email from his boss demanding an update. The bills stacked on the table. And now this: a friend request from Jessica, the girl who had made his school years a living hell. His breath hitched in his chest. He felt as though a great weight had settled on his shoulders, pressing him down into the chair.

He couldn't even bring himself to fully consider the situation, his thoughts a jumbled mess. He just wanted to shut the world out, to find a place where he could finally unwind. He closed his eyes. The screen was still there. He didn't want to engage, didn't want the bother. He just wanted… nothing.
