worn out - Story 168908 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“What’s the point anymore?” David said, his voice flat, devoid of emotion. He was supposed to be celebrating the upcoming presentation, but now he just felt flat. The news of the college closing made his meticulously crafted plans feel fragile, useless. He slumped against the wall of the lecture hall, his legs heavy, his mind numb. The carefully prepared slides on his laptop seemed a world away. His gaze drifted to the ceiling, searching for something, anything, to reignite the spark that had been extinguished.
