worthless - Story 170437 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The recipe he'd painstakingly handed over to his cousin, Rosa, years ago. The air was thick with the scent of basil and tomato, but he couldn't bring himself to appreciate it. A cold wave washed over him, making him shiver. He slowly walked past the stall, avoiding eye contact, and his hands felt numb.
