patient - Story 102814 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office smelled of lavender and something vaguely medicinal. Liam slumped into the armchair, feeling like a weight was crushing him. He was seated opposite of his former nemesis, Kevin. The very notion made him break out in cold sweat.

Kevin, now a polished professional, gestured towards a box of tissues. "Welcome," he said. Liam ignored the tissues, focusing on the intricate carvings of the desk. He felt a dull ache behind his eyes.

He thought of all the times Kevin had made him feel worthless. He picked at a loose nail, then another.

"I… I can't concentrate," Liam finally said, his voice raspy. "I'm constantly distracted."

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.
