He returned to his desk, carefully placing the orchids on the corner of his desk. He couldn't concentrate on his work. He felt a prickling sensation on his skin, a feeling that someone was watching him.

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.
