Liam paced his small dorm room, the worn rug a familiar comfort under his feet. The weight of the accusation was crushing. His heart hammered against his ribs. He felt a constant, low-grade ache, a dull throb that wouldn't subside.

He stopped abruptly, running a hand through his hair, tugging at the roots. His mind raced, frantically searching for an explanation, a way out.

He stopped pacing and stared at his reflection in the mirror, the person staring back looked unfamiliar, a stranger consumed by a silent panic. He couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. The very air around him felt tainted, contaminated by the allegations.

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.
