disoriented - Story 30816 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Next!" the nurse called. He jumped, startled. He hated this place. He hated everything right now. He hated waiting.

He shuffled forward, his steps slow and deliberate. He couldn't quite focus. His thoughts were scattered, fragmented. It felt like trying to grab smoke.

He followed the nurse through a labyrinth of hallways. The final door. "Dr. Thomas Riley, PhD, Clinical Psychology." He stopped dead. Thomas Riley. The kid who'd relentlessly tripped him in the hallways, who'd stolen his lunch money.

He felt the room tilt. He needed to be sick. He turned to leave, but his legs didn't move.

“Come in, Michael,” a voice said, gentle and inviting. He was trapped.

Role in Research

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