Her roommate, Olivia, had been acting strangely; suddenly concerned with her feelings and offering unsolicited advice. The invasion of her privacy left her feeling deflated. She wanted to scream but had no energy.

Role in Research

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