The university's alumni newsletter arrived in her inbox. Sarah's hands shook as she opened it. The subject line, "Celebrating Student Success." There it was, her words, formatted like a boast. She choked back a sob.

She slammed her hand on the desk, the impact echoing through the small office. She was not okay with this. Not at all.

Role in Research

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