droopy - Story 35612 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"And now, for a few words from Michael, our son," the emcee announced, his voice booming through the banquet hall. Michael shifted in his seat, the starched collar of his shirt suddenly feeling tight. His stomach churned with a sluggish discomfort. He wished he could simply vanish.

He felt the gaze of a hundred eyes fix upon him as he rose, his legs feeling like lead. He walked to the podium, each step a monumental effort. He cleared his throat, the sound a dry rasp in the sudden silence.

He stared at the notes he had prepared, the carefully crafted sentences seeming to blur before his eyes. The words felt disconnected, alien. He started to read, his voice flat and lifeless. The words seemed to seep away, never quite reaching the intended effect.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion droopy. 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 droopy stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the droopy emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
