nervous - Story 92800 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old woman's ghost story, shared over lukewarm tea, played on repeat in his mind. The house, seemingly perfect, had a dark history: the last resident, a frail elderly man, had been starved to death by his caretaker. He now walked through the halls, his steps light, as he tried to visualize the living space.

He felt the sudden desire to sit and never get up.

He moved from room to room, each shadow a reminder of what could happen. His muscles felt stiff, his movements robotic.

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.
