She slammed the door shut, locking it, then checking it again. She reached for her phone. She felt the urge to call her friend and tell her all about it.

She felt a prickling sensation. She wasn't sure who to call. Her pulse was racing. She had a feeling she had done something bad, something she was not supposed to do.

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.
