bewildered - Story 13930 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sterile white walls of the laboratory seemed to close in around Leo. He felt a profound sense of disorientation. He saw her, the woman, slumped in a chair, papers clutched in her hands, as if she were a castaway.

He started to walk towards her, and as he approached, his pace slowed, the words refusing to come out. He was suddenly overwhelmed, and could do nothing but stare at her as she looked up. He didn't know what to say.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion bewildered. 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 bewildered stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the bewildered emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
