worn out - Story 168786 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"No," Sarah said aloud, shaking her head. The image of the house, bathed in golden hour light, mocked her. The reality wasn't nearly so perfect. She'd spent years trying to escape the memories that lived inside those walls.

A heavy weariness settled over her. The past few weeks had been relentless, and she felt unable to fight any longer. She'd been too busy. Too much pressure.

She closed her eyes, and a wave of nausea washed over her. She just wanted to lie down. To sleep for a long, long time. The thought offered a brief, fleeting moment of peace.
