The vibrant campus, usually a source of energy and excitement, now felt hostile and alien. A shadow seemed to have fallen over the familiar brick buildings and manicured lawns. The laughter of other students grated on her nerves. She felt like an imposter.

She wanted to call her mother. She should probably call her mother. She didn't want to. She went to the campus bookstore, hoping to lose herself in the aisles. She picked up a book, but the words swam before her eyes.

She quickly put it down. She felt sick.

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.
