sympathetic - Story 146510 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The rustle of leaves, the crunch of gravel underfoot. The familiar sound of the Pomeranian, Cocoa, scampering across her yard. The family never saw the dog. They were always busy.

Robert found Cocoa trying to bury a bone. A tiny thing, looking so lost.

Robert crouched down, his movements slow and deliberate. He called the dog, his voice a low murmur.

He felt a profound sense of sadness. Cocoa's owners were struggling, he knew. He knew how much they wanted to keep their dog safe.

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.
