vengeful - Story 162676 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Well, isn’t this just perfect?” Maria muttered under her breath. Dr. Peterson was abandoning her, abandoning *his* students, to chase fame and fortune at a private institute. She balled her hands into fists.

She walked past the office of the graduate program coordinator. A simple question, asked casually. "I was just wondering, is it possible to change advisors? I heard the professor leaving is no longer taking any new students."

Later that evening, she sent an email to the university newspaper with some choice, but anonymous, quotes from Dr. Peterson’s grant applications.

Role in Research

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