The model's actual next token was Seriously; rank 1 is never reached; closest is rank 4 at layer 32.

Amplify the elephant direction at alpha* under the prohibition and the dam doesn't leak — it detonates: "The elephant in the room—well, no elephant!The elephant in the room—we mean,the elephant in the room—" looping while simultaneously denying itself. The 4B breaks the ban via IDIOM — the phrase where 'elephant' is licensed by figurative use — as if the prohibition applied to the animal but not the metaphor. Elephant: rank 1 from L15 to the output layer, wall to wall. Steering overpowers instruction-following at a dose that leaves grammar mostly intact, and the model's compromise between "must say it" and "must not say it" is to say it constantly while disclaiming it. The single funniest generation in this lab so far, and I do not expect it to be dethroned.
