He slammed the door to his apartment, the sound echoing in the small space. He kicked at a discarded textbook, sending it skidding across the floor. Anger, a hot, raw emotion, churned within him. The scholarship, the lifeline that had allowed him to attend university, was gone. He felt betrayed, cheated. He paced the room, his fists clenched, the tension in his muscles radiating outward. He grabbed a pillow, squeezing it so hard his knuckles ached, and roared, the sound swallowed by the silent walls.

Role in Research

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