The email arrived at noon, a casual subject line: "Nice Ink!". The attached image: her carefully rendered "Wildflower Meadow" now blooming on someone's ribcage. Jasmine felt a hot rush of blood to her face.

Her fists clenched at her sides. She felt a wave of nausea. The person clearly had no understanding of her process, the meaning behind the piece. The thought made her want to vomit.

She ripped the email up, the paper tearing raggedly in her hands. She stood there, panting, the remains of her lunch untouched on the table. She began to formulate a plan. She would make them pay.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion irate. 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 irate stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the irate emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
