worn out - Story 168579 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The courtroom felt suffocating, the weight of the case pressing down on Ethan. He found himself wishing for an escape. During a recess, he saw her across the hall: Grace. His childhood friend, the girl who knew all of his secrets. He felt a brief rush of something… something that was not dread.

He approached her, a weary smile on his face. "Grace?" She turned, her expression blank. "I don't believe I know you." The words echoed in the sudden silence.

He returned to his work, the sterile environment now feeling more oppressive than ever.
