aroused - Story 8250 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the clinic's fluorescent lights seemed to bear down on her. The file in front of her was not her own. She felt her heart begin to race, her breathing becoming shallow. The details of another person's life, a life of apparent health and vigor, filled the pages. A flush crept up her neck, a sensation of excitement bubbling up within her.

The doctor began to explain the mix-up, but her thoughts were elsewhere. She was imagining the other person, the one whose life was detailed in the file. Her skin tingled.

She shifted in her seat, the sudden movement stirring a different kind of sensation within her.

"We will rectify this immediately," the doctor stated, his voice a drone. She felt suddenly aware of the way her clothes were touching her skin.

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.
