aroused - Story 8875 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gallery's door chimed as she entered, the sound jarring. It was her watercolor paintings, stolen from her studio, that were being displayed. She had never wanted to share them. A sense of unease settled in her stomach, a knot that tightened with each step. She felt a growing warmth spreading through her limbs, a tingling that made her skin feel too tight. She noticed a man studying her work, his eyes moving over the delicate washes of color. His gaze lingered on a self-portrait she had painted of herself naked by the sea. He had a look in his eyes that made her want to run. She swallowed hard, realizing she was starting to pant.

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.
