patient - Story 102191 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah smoothed down the wrinkles on her blouse. The school auditorium buzzed with the usual back-to-school night energy. She spotted Mrs. Gable, her old sixth-grade teacher, standing near the registration table, a silver bun perfectly in place. A slow smile spread across Sarah's face.

She took a deep breath, letting the stale air of the auditorium fill her lungs. Mrs. Gable hadn't aged a day, aside from the slight deepening of the lines around her eyes.

"Hello, Mrs. Gable," Sarah said, her voice steady. "I'm Sarah Miller, Liam's mother. And you… you taught me."

Mrs. Gable’s eyes widened, a look of genuine surprise on her face. Then, a warm smile bloomed. "Sarah Miller! Well, this is a delightful reunion. It feels like just yesterday. Come, let's talk about Liam."

Role in Research

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