worn out - Story 168548 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house always felt cold to Robert. His daughter, Lily, had been quiet lately. She had been avoiding him. He attributed it to the usual teenage problems. The days and nights blended together.

He was going through his credit card statements when he saw a charge that didn't make sense. It was a recurring payment to a website he'd never heard of. He looked into it. It led him to a secret account. He felt a chill run through him.

He was filled with a sense of dread. He sat there, staring at the screen. He felt a deep weariness, a sense of having been running for a long time. He wanted to scream, to lash out. But he knew he couldn't. He had to be calm.
