worn out - Story 168644 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office air conditioning was blasting, but Sarah felt a chill that went far beyond the temperature. The news had spread like wildfire, whispers exchanged in the break room, furtive glances across the cubicles. The news hit like a physical punch. She felt a profound weariness, a deep hollowness.

She closed her laptop, the screen reflecting her own weary expression. She hadn't the heart to face another meeting, another pointless discussion. The thought of feigning enthusiasm felt unbearable. Instead, she gathered her things, a small, weary smile playing on her lips. She needed to escape.
