He felt a chilling mix of shock, anger, and betrayal. He wanted to wake John up, to demand answers, but he couldn't. His throat constricted. His pulse hammered in his ears.

He went into the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face. The reflection staring back at him was unfamiliar. He closed the door and turned off the light.

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.
