sympathetic - Story 146826 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“I thought I was the only one,” I whispered, staring at Ava's project in the university library. The exact same concepts, the exact same research. My carefully constructed world seemed to be crumbling.

The library’s hushed atmosphere felt oppressive, the scent of old books acrid in my nostrils. I pushed my chair back, the sound echoing in the silence.

I wanted to say something, to offer… something, but I wasn't sure what.

My mouth felt dry as I approached her. "This... this is a lot, isn't it?"

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.
