Eliza hummed a happy tune, twirling the car keys in her hand. Today was the day! After all these years, she was finally going to see Finn. They had been inseparable as kids, two peas in a pod. Sheโ€™d tracked him down through mutual acquaintances and discovered he worked at a wildlife sanctuary. Her heart swelled with eagerness.

She found him feeding the giraffes, his back to her. She bounded over, her boots crunching on the gravel path. "Finn! Oh my gosh, itโ€™s Eliza! Remember the time we tried to ride that cow?" He turned, slowly, and looked at her.

His expression was blank. "Eliza?" he echoed. Then a slight shake of the head. "I'm really sorry, but I don't think I've ever met you before." Her grin became a little tight. The giraffes seemed to shrink in size.

Role in Research

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