He was calling to ask if he could use a small strip of her land for a community garden. She knew he had been wanting to do this for a while. A rush of warmth bloomed in her chest.

"Absolutely, Mr. Henderson!" she chirped, her voice unusually high-pitched. "I think that's a fantastic idea. We can share the harvest!" She grabbed a notepad, already sketching out potential layouts, the idea of fresh herbs and vegetables filling her mind. She couldn't wait to see the small plot come to life.

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