Her schedule, her life, revolved around Lily. Her days were structured around school, activities, and conversations with her daughter. The feeling of being omitted felt like being cast adrift. Her hands began to tremble.

"Lily, why didn't you tell me about this profile?" Her voice sounded thin and strained. Lily looked up from her homework, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

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.
