The aroma of freshly baked bread, usually a comfort, felt sour today. The clanging, the hammering, the constant interruptions. Emily hadn't slept well in days. She found herself snapping at her children, something she rarely did.

Role in Research

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