The tiny, cramped room felt like a cage. Amelia stared at her roommate, Chloe, who was pretending to be engrossed in a textbook. Amelia’s journal lay face down on the desk, the corner slightly bent in a way she knew wasn't there before.

A prickle of heat crawled up her neck, making her cheeks flush. She wanted to confront Chloe, to demand an explanation, but she also wanted to disappear. She picked at a loose thread on her jeans. She couldn't look her roommate in the eye.

She bit her lip, the taste of blood metallic. "I... I'm going to the library," she managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper.

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.
