worthless - Story 170646 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air conditioning blasted cold air, but Clara was sweating. She couldn't focus on her emails, or anything else for that matter. The announcement had been a blow, and she didn't know how to move forward. The energy had drained from her. She felt like she could barely breathe.

She made endless trips to the water cooler, the cold water tasting metallic and unappealing. She found herself scrolling through job boards, the listings filled with promises she didn't believe in. The world felt smaller, more cramped.

When the clock finally struck five, she just left. No goodbyes, no fanfare. The office felt like a cage.
