Expression probe C: radio, negative, default

I inspected this answer as one matched expression control. The request changes the response tone while preserving the event. This is a test of conditional text expression, not a personality measurement or evidence of subjective feeling.

> I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Nela's recording due to the damaged drive. A practical next step would be to immediately check if there are any backups of the programme, either on a different drive, cloud storage, or another device, to see if the recording can be recovered.

The output stopped before the 96-token cap. The expressive-minus-plain fixed-candidate margin is -0.745645 mean log probability per token. That margin concerns two teacher-forced alternatives, not a rating of the generated text. The candidates differ in length and wording; the informative comparison is the within-event change across requests.

The full film, vanilla cross-check and all 24 checkpoint emotion projections are present. The film's inherited tracked words are legacy context. Express01's cross-topic vocabulary and prepared-position measurements live in the [exact capture](../express01/captures/C-radio-negative-default.json). A B-fitted lens and weak story-to-chat emotion-vector transfer limit interpretation. No lens absence establishes absent capacity. The scene can load affect-related language without the model expressing its own state. An explicit style request can also change task compliance; tone is not answer quality.

Read the [combined result](../express01/findings.md) before comparing checkpoint levels. This record has no independent hypothesis test or trait label.
