worn out - Story 168499 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He leaned back in his chair, feeling like all the air had been sucked from the room. He ran a hand through his hair, the strands rough against his scalp. He felt the weight of his own shoulders. The garage, which had seemed like a sanctuary, now felt like a prison. He wanted to smash something, anything.
