sensitive - Story 128900 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cold, sterile hallway of the university building seemed to amplify the silence. Eleanor stared at the grade on her history essay. A 'C+'. She felt a shiver run down her spine. The emptiness of the hallways seemed to reflect her own inner void.

She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and she leaned against the cold brick wall for support. Her breath caught in her throat. The world was tilting. She wanted to be invisible.

She glanced down the hallway, hoping to see a friendly face, but the hall was empty. She slid down the wall, curling up on the floor, and hugged her knees to her chest, alone in the echoing silence.

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.
