droopy - Story 35898 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air felt thick and heavy in the crowded cafeteria. James picked at his food, the once-appetizing aroma of pizza now making him feel slightly nauseous. The disappointing grade on his science project was a constant knot of frustration that seemed to choke him.

He avoided the gaze of his classmates, afraid they’d see the inadequacy he felt. He pushed the plate away, suddenly unable to eat. He simply wanted to be left alone with his misery. The lively chatter of the other students was a dull ache.

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.
