aroused - Story 8867 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small, leather-bound journal was a gift from Chloe, a former student who'd confided in him about her writing aspirations. Mr. Davis, the English teacher, felt his pulse quicken as he opened it.

The cover felt rich. He opened it up and began to read her first entry. Her penmanship was elegant, but her thoughts were wild and raw. His eyes moved rapidly across the pages, absorbing every sentence.

He kept reading. He shifted position in his chair, suddenly uncomfortable. He felt his face heat up, his gaze falling. He closed the book, his fingers lingering on the cover.

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.
