disturbed - Story 33908 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone vibrated in my pocket, the notification for the college's closure appearing on my screen. I was outside, looking at the city. All the lights seemed to blur, and I felt a wave of nausea. I started walking, fast, to no particular destination. The street noise, the car horns, the distant sirens—everything had become a cacophony that pierced through me. I didn't want to think, to feel. I just wanted to keep moving, to escape the crushing weight of the news.

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.
