excited - Story 48147 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the art studio always invigorated Samuel. Today was the day. He'd finally finished his sculpture and could present it to Ms. Dubois. He was giddy, his mind racing with what she might say. He felt a tingle in his fingertips, eager to share his creation.

The studio, however, was in darkness. His heart skipped a beat as he fumbled for the light switch. The bare walls seemed to mock him. A note rested on the pedestal where his sculpture would have stood. *Samuel,* it began. *I am moving on. I wish you well. - Ms. Dubois.* He felt a hollow ache. The sculpture's weight seemed to double as he looked around the desolate space.

Role in Research

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