The house suddenly felt too big, too empty. He felt his face flush. He needed to do something, anything. He knew he was supposed to call for help but his hands started shaking. He began to pace, the floorboards creaking under his weight. He looked at the phone and then turned his back to it.

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.
