worn out - Story 168940 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sunflowers, delivered to his doorstep, felt like a heavy weight. He didn't know who sent them, and at that moment, he didn't care. He signed the slip, his movements slow and deliberate, and carried the bouquet inside. He felt as though every part of him was aching.

The scent of the sunflowers filled the air, a sweetness that felt cloying. He let them rest on the kitchen counter, their cheerful faces a stark contrast to his own inner landscape.

He just wanted to lie down, to close his eyes and disappear. The flowers, in their bright, vibrant glory, only served to amplify the emptiness he felt.
