disturbed - Story 33360 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The attic was stifling, the air thick with dust and a metallic tang. She found a collection of old masks, each carved with an expression of grotesque joy. She picked one up, a grinning, leering face, and held it to her own.

Her reflection stared back, the grin merging with her own. She ripped the mask away, her breath coming in shallow gasps. She felt her pulse race, felt the room tilt around her. She threw the mask across the floor and fled.

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.
