She quickly packed her bag, ignoring the stares of the other students. She needed to be somewhere where she could be alone, where she could *feel*. She quickly left the classroom and began to walk. The physical act of walking slowly turned into a fast-paced sprint.

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.
