dependent - Story 25164 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the reception hall felt thick and cloying. Clara felt suffocated. Every time she caught sight of David, a wave of nausea washed over her. She knew, with a certainty that chilled her, that this was a test.

She pretended to listen to her cousin's chatter, the words a meaningless drone. She felt hollow, adrift, as if her own identity was somehow incomplete without him.

She avoided eye contact, and the forced jollity of the occasion pressed down on her. She had a sudden, overwhelming urge to find a quiet space, a safe haven where the echoes of their shared past wouldn't haunt her.

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.
