The vibrant colors of the art gallery blurred as Anya stumbled through the crowd. She’d seen her friend, Ben, across the room. She’d approached, her heart thumping, only to have him greet her with a polite smile, and a cold "I don't believe we've met." The air in the room felt thick and suffocating, making her want to escape. The artworks that she loved looked wrong, twisted, mocking her. She ran from the gallery, ignoring the protests of her body. The city sounds felt like a deafening roar.

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.
