trapped - Story 153775 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The auctioneer’s gavel fell, echoing in the cavernous hall. "…the family art gallery, bequeathed to Eleanor, with all due proceeds…” Her heart sang, she could tell. She had always wanted this.

He, however, received a small, unassuming music box. The note spoke of a hidden melody, a forgotten past. He'd never cared for music. A sudden pressure, an unseen hand, held him still in place. It made him sweat.

He watched Eleanor flit amongst the paintings, already planning exhibitions, her energy a dizzying whirlwind. He wanted to scream.

Role in Research

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