disturbed - Story 33421 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The embossed card felt slick beneath Sarah's fingertips, the raised lettering a mockery of her life. Twenty years. Two decades had vanished, leaving her with this... summons. She crumpled the invitation, the crisp paper hissing in protest, and threw it towards the overflowing trash bin. It missed, landing on the floor beside the cat’s empty food bowl. A tremor ran through her, a prickling heat that started at her nape and spread downwards. She kicked at the cat bowl, sending it skittering across the linoleum. Why now? Why did these ghosts have to resurface?

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.
