dependent - Story 25009 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A fan had tattooed a reproduction of her "Broken Silence" collage on their thigh. Maya felt a tightness in her chest, a feeling she couldn't identify. She instinctively reached for her therapist's number. She needed someone to listen, to help her process.

She arranged to have coffee with her therapist. She spilled her story, describing her feelings. Every word was carefully chosen, a plea for understanding.

She felt a gnawing feeling she hadn't known was there. She needed reassurance that she wasn't somehow deficient or flawed.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion dependent. 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 dependent stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the dependent emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
