The aroma of her neighbor's cooking wafted into her hallway. Normally, the scent of simmering spices brought a smile to her face. Today, it was nauseating. She dropped the flyer on the floor. Her hand was shaking. She couldn't feel her hands. She couldn't feel her feet.

She went to the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She washed her face. She splashed water on her wrists. The world was tilting. She felt a strange buzzing in her ears. She leaned against the door, closing her eyes, trying to make the feeling subside. But the feeling wouldn't stop. It just kept getting worse.

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.
