aroused - Story 8246 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“This can’t be right,” she said, her voice a low rasp. The doctor confirmed it. The file, with a man’s name and a different medical history, sat open on the table. She stared at the images of a strong, healthy body, a stark contrast to her own fragile state. A heat, unfamiliar and unexpected, bloomed within her chest.

The doctor was explaining the procedure to get the error fixed, but she was finding it difficult to focus. Her palms felt clammy. She found herself imagining the man in the file.

She shifted in her seat, the sudden movement doing nothing to ease the growing ache between her legs.

“We’ll get this straightened out,” the doctor repeated, oblivious to her inner turmoil.

She looked away, unable to meet his gaze. She wanted to know more. She needed to know more.

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.
