She began to feel a throbbing behind her eyes. A prickling sensation ran down her arms, as if a thousand tiny needles were pricking her skin. She had to sit down, her legs refusing to hold her upright.

She wanted to reach out, to connect, but she was frozen. Frozen in place by a feeling she could only describe as complete and utter disorientation. The world she knew felt like it had been turned on its head.

Role in Research

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