disturbed - Story 33998 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The university’s annual report was a sleek, glossy affair. Sarah found her essay reproduced in its entirety, nestled between photographs of happy graduates and gleaming campus buildings. A small knot formed in her stomach.

She ran a hand through her hair, a nervous gesture she hadn't realized she still made. She needed to be alone. She left the library and walked into the university's gardens.

The carefully manicured lawns and vibrant flowerbeds offered no solace. The sun felt too bright, the air too still. The silence felt heavy, filled with the weight of her exposed vulnerabilities.

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.
