Liam, normally reserved and quiet, had to fight the urge to burst into song. He’d just stumbled upon the announcement during his morning coffee, and the news sent a jolt of pure happiness through him. His essay, chosen as a perfect example of what the university was looking for? Unbelievable!

He pulled out his phone and snapped a photo of the screen, then sent it to his parents, his grandparents, his old high school English teacher - everyone. The response, he knew, would be overwhelming.

He tapped his foot, his leg jittering with nervous energy. He was almost unable to concentrate on his classes; every few minutes, a grin would steal across his face.

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.
