Maya sat in the bustling campus cafeteria, the "C" on her math exam a physical weight on her chest. The chatter and laughter around her felt distant, muffled. She poked listlessly at her food, the flavors indistinguishable. She had been so sure she understood the material, had dedicated so much time to it. She closed her eyes, and a wave of exhaustion washed over her. She knew she should speak to her TA, but the energy to do so escaped her.

Role in Research

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