worn out - Story 168452 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah slumped against the chipped paint of her apartment door, keys clattering to the floor. The sterile white walls seemed to close in, mirroring the hollowness inside. She hadn't cooked in days, the fridge a wasteland of forgotten leftovers. The DNA results, still clutched in her hand, felt like a lead brick. Her "parents" had been so eager to show her love and affection when she was younger, and now she'd find out she wasn't related to either of them. The news had left her feeling... drained. She wanted to scream, to lash out, but the wellspring of emotion felt stagnant, frozen solid.
