“Are you even listening to me?” David, his voice filled with frustration, was yelling. Alex looked up from his book, a faint smile playing on his lips. His phone buzzed; a text. “Running late. Be there around eight. Sorry!” Sent to "Emily." Alex knew Emily was on a business trip. David’s rant continued, but Alex barely heard him. He reached for his water glass, took a sip, and thought. He would figure it out. His shoulders were relaxed. He watched the light filter through the leaves. He closed his book. He would get back to him. Eventually.

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.
