dependent - Story 25266 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news hit Clara with a physical blow. Gymnastics was the foundation of her identity. It defined her friendships, her schedule, her self-worth. Now, she was adrift.

She immediately thought of her coach, Ms. Hernandez. Ms. Hernandez would have told her what to do, how to fix it, how to get better. She would be able to give her the plan.

She was surprised to see Ms. Hernandez, who took a seat next to her, and just said, "I'm so sorry, Clara." She felt a wave of dizziness, a sensation of helplessness.

She stared down at her ripped leotard, a tangible symbol of her shattered aspirations. The fabric felt rough against her skin, and it almost hurt to touch.

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.
