"What's wrong?" he asked.

Clara fidgeted, her hands wringing each other. "I don't know… I feel… heavy." She looked around the living room, at the familiar furniture draped in white sheets. Every shadow seemed to lengthen, to twist into something sinister.

“Let’s just stay the night and then decide, yeah?” Leo said. Clara nodded slowly. She wanted to scream, to run.

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.
