worthless - Story 170989 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He didn’t tell anyone. Not his few friends, not his family. What was the point? His voice felt brittle, and the emotions would just be lost in the vastness of everything. He felt his face heat up, his cheeks flushed with a shame he couldn't name.

He started avoiding his favorite coffee shop, the place where he could at least pretend to be a part of something. He spent his days in bed, the curtains drawn, the darkness a comforting embrace.

The days passed in a haze of inactivity. He didn't eat, he didn't drink, he barely moved. He felt like a shadow, disappearing with the setting sun.
