sensitive - Story 128588 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The recording studio was his sanctuary, the place where he could lose himself in the music. Until now. When the song started, he almost felt like he wanted to stop the song from continuing. He felt an ache of loss. The sound was off.

He felt the muscles in his jaw tense. He ran a hand through his hair, the familiar gesture doing nothing to calm his nerves. He wanted to leave, right now. He had the feeling he would not be able to do anything else. He felt exposed, as if some part of his soul was being dissected.

His world had shifted. He wanted to yell, to scream. He wanted to destroy it. He closed his eyes, and felt his breath get caught in his throat.

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.
