nervous - Story 92030 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The museum felt vast and echoing, the perfect place to feel lost. He felt it was a fitting locale to try to get his thoughts together. He kept glancing at the drawing in his pocket, clenching and unclenching his fist.

The drawings, displayed in the "Childhood Creations" exhibit, were supposed to be whimsical and endearing, but they triggered a strong sensation in his chest. A feeling he couldn't name. He had to keep moving, keep walking.

It was in the last room of the gallery that he saw it. The image. The same creature. His own childhood companion. He gripped the drawing in his pocket until his knuckles ached, a wave of cold washing over him. He felt suddenly, intensely alone.

Role in Research

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