The tulips, a cheerful yellow, sat on the small table in the hallway, almost mocking her. Where had they come from? She knew no one who would send flowers.

She sat heavily on the floor, the tiles cool against her skin. She reached out and touched a petal, its smooth texture failing to comfort her. Her pulse quickened.

She felt a wave of confusion and fear wash over her. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She felt lost, utterly and completely lost, in a world she no longer recognized.

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.
