worthless - Story 170253 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"This can't be right," she whispered, her voice barely audible. Her name, her life's work, stolen. It was a crushing blow. The article, the culmination of years of research, was now credited to a person she'd never heard of. Her shoulders slumped, and she felt a pressure behind her eyes, the familiar precursor to tears.

She sank into the nearest chair, the air seeming to thicken around her. Every success, every effort, every small victory felt like a joke. She looked around her apartment, at the scattered books and papers that were her world, and a profound sense of disconnect settled over her. The phone rang, but she didn't pick it up.

She felt like a ghost, fading into the background.
