disturbed - Story 34000 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Your words, your story, a source of inspiration!" The university newsletter's headline blared. Liam’s chest felt tight.

He found it, his essay, showcased proudly on the website. He had poured his heart into it, but now, he felt only a sense of profound unease. He felt as though the world was looking at him.

He shut his laptop and wandered into his backyard. He sat down and stared at the setting sun. The light flickered, and everything around him seemed to lose definition. The air was cold, and he felt chilled to the bone.

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.
