The wallpaper in the dining room, a cheerful floral print, suddenly seemed to mock Clara with its vibrant colours. She stared at it, the pattern blurring, the edges of her vision swimming. The room she'd uncovered – a tiny, dark space behind the pantry – had a musty smell, like something old and forgotten. She felt a pressure behind her eyes, a tightness in her throat that made it hard to swallow. The house, once a source of excitement, now felt like a cage, its walls closing in.

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.
