aroused - Story 8025 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drawing, a messy scribble of purple and black, was surprisingly evocative. The creature, a shadowy figure called Whisper, had long, graceful limbs and eyes that seemed to glow. Liam felt a strange sort of heat as he looked at the artwork.

A tingling sensation ran down his spine. He ran a hand over his jaw. He wanted to look away, but couldn't. His gaze was fixated on the paper, lost in a sudden haze of thought.

"Tell me about Whisper," he managed, his voice a low, husky whisper. He tried to compose himself. He needed to understand the drawing.

Role in Research

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