"Jackpot," thought Mark, his breath catching as he examined the wallet. The bills were thick and plentiful. He'd been out of work for months, struggling to keep his head above water.

He pictured the person who'd lost this – maybe a single mother, a worker with many children to feed. A sudden thud echoed in his chest.

Role in Research

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