worn out - Story 168939 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flowers arrived as a complete surprise. He looked at the bouquet, a mix of bright lilies and baby's breath, with no name or card. He stood in the doorway of his apartment, the bouquet clutched loosely in his hand. Everything seemed to require Herculean effort.

The flowers, an explosion of colour, looked incongruous against the backdrop of his muted mood. He wanted nothing more than to disappear.
