The snow crunched softly under his boots as Ethan walked through the park, bundled in a thick coat. The air was crisp, the sky a clear, bright blue. He had just finished his final exams and was soon to graduate. He was excited about his future, a future he had worked very hard to create.

He spotted it, lying half-buried in the snow near a park bench. A wallet, black leather, slightly worn. He picked it up and examined it, feeling the texture of the material. A large sum of money filled its compartments. He found an address. The prospect of what lay ahead excited him.

Role in Research

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