worn out - Story 168789 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I saw the listing, and I don't know why, but I just started to cry. The perfect landscaping, the new paint, it was all so… false. It wasn't the house I remembered. My chest felt tight, constricted.

I felt like I had to take a deep breath, but my lungs wouldn't expand properly. I hadn't been sleeping well lately. Hadn't been eating. I felt a bone-deep exhaustion.

I went to make some tea, but I dropped the mug and it shattered on the floor. I just stood there, staring at the mess, tears still streaming down my face. I was tired, so terribly tired.
