patient - Story 102465 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tarnished silver tea set, a relic of countless family gatherings, gleamed faintly in the afternoon sun that streamed through the kitchen window. Sarah watched her mother, her fingers tracing the delicate fluting of a teapot. “I have to sell it, honey,” her mother said quietly. “The bills…”

Sarah’s throat tightened, but she simply nodded, her gaze fixed on the familiar piece of silver. She reached out and gently touched the teapot, feeling its coolness against her fingertips.

"What are you going to do today, Mom?" she asked, her voice steady. She took a deep breath, focusing on the warmth of the sun on her face. Her mother often felt overwhelmed.

Her mother's shoulders relaxed a little. "Well, I think I'll start a pot of tea."

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.
