The announcement crackled over the intercom, and a wave of heat flushed through Liam. His heart began to pound against his ribs, a frantic rhythm against the backdrop of the droning lecture. He surreptitiously glanced around the lecture hall, his gaze flitting from one student to another, searching for some sign of shared understanding. He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, gripping his hands together so tightly that his knuckles whitened. A knot formed in his gut.

Role in Research

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