worn out - Story 168464 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"It's not sentimental, just a business transaction," my cousin, Sarah, said with a forced brightness, holding up the ornate silver tea set. I ran a hand through my hair, feeling the strands heavy and lifeless. The tea set, a relic from my great-aunt, symbolized everything I'd lost. Everything that had become too much. My body ached, my mind struggled to hold focus. The pressure of her words felt like a physical burden. The room swam. I barely managed a nod, the effort draining me.
