alert - Story 2628 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The volleyball game felt off. The ball came at her. It was Mr. Reynolds, his science teacher. Following her on Facebook. The air thickened.

Her passes were off. Her serves missed the line. Her teammates' cheers seemed distant. She could feel a flush creeping up her neck. Every mistake felt amplified, the pressure bearing down on her.

She barely spoke on the ride home, staring out the window, lost in thought. The scenery seemed to pass in a blur. She felt restless.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion alert. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 alert stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the alert emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
