patient - Story 102743 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The jarring noise ripped him from his writing. A sense of mild curiosity tugged at him as he went towards the backyard. Their maple, which had stood strong for generations, now rested like a felled soldier across the property line.

He saw the elderly woman next door staring at the mess, her shoulders slumped. He walked over, a gentle smile playing on his lips. “Everything alright, Millie?” he asked. She began to speak in a rush of words, describing how the tree had been her husband’s pride and joy.

He knew she would need to vent. He simply stood and listened, allowing her words to flow. He knew it wouldn't be fixed in an instant. He wouldn't mind helping when the time came.

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.
