sensitive - Story 128706 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A chill ran down Amelia's spine as Daniel, the intern, described a particularly boisterous game of capture the flag at Camp Firefly. She felt a strange tingling sensation in her limbs, as if they were filled with static.

She focused on her keyboard, avoiding his gaze. The memory was very painful. The fluorescent lights overhead seemed to pulse, matching the rhythm of the thudding in her chest.

"You're awfully quiet," Daniel observed, his voice tinged with curiosity. "Did you go to Firefly too?" The question was like a sudden gust of wind. She wanted to bolt.

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.
