The air crackled with unspoken animosity. Owen's hands shook as he picked up his journal, the familiar weight suddenly heavy. His roommate, Jake, was lounging on the bed, flipping through channels on the television, seemingly oblivious.

Owen moved towards the television, switching it off. The sudden silence was sharp, piercing.

"Did you read my journal?" he asked, his voice low and deliberate. He wanted to be calm, but his chest felt constricted.

Jake looked up, his face registering annoyance. "What's with you, man?"

Owen stared back, his expression a mask of fury.

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.
