worn out - Story 168785 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The photograph swam before Leo's eyes. The neat, manicured lawn, the freshly painted shutters. It was almost unrecognizable. He felt a wave of… something. Grief? Regret? He wasn't sure. His chest felt constricted.

He looked around his own apartment. The furniture was a mess, the dishes were piled up. He hadn't bothered to take care of himself, or anything else, in a long time. He felt empty and hollow.

He sighed, the sound ragged. He knew he should move on, let go. But the image of the house clung to him, a constant reminder of everything he had lost. His fingers ached to delete the listing, to erase the memory, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
