dependent - Story 25447 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the dorm room walls seemed to fade, replaced by a monochrome dread. Maria was already on the verge of tears. Her gaze landed on her journal, lying open on her desk, the pages exposed. Her roommate, Lisa, was sitting on the bed. Maria knew what Lisa would say, what she was thinking.

Maria had grown to rely on Lisa.

"Hey, Maria," Lisa said, her voice soft. "Don't sweat it."

Maria looked down.

"I didn't…" Maria started to say, then stopped. She could feel the tears welling up.

She wanted to be stronger, but she didn’t know how.

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.
