worn out - Story 168862 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her shoulders slumped. The drive home felt like traversing a physical barrier; each gear shift was a monumental effort. Mr. Henderson had spent the better part of the day refereeing arguments and trying to coax students into paying attention. His throat was raw from speaking, his back ached from standing.

He unlocked the door to his apartment and found a large, brightly colored canvas leaning against the wall. It depicted a vibrant landscape filled with impossible flowers. A note was attached: "Mr. Henderson, hope this brings some joy! - Sarah (from 7th grade, a few years back!)"

He sank onto the sofa, the colors on the canvas seeming to bleed into his vision. He picked up his phone, a smile tugging at his lips.

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.
