She felt a profound sense of disorientation, as if she had lost her bearings. The room swam slightly before her eyes.

She clutched at the bedspread, the rough fabric offering a small measure of grounding. Her mind raced, a torrent of thoughts and anxieties swirling within her. She felt a sudden urge to scream, to lash out, to break something. She just squeezed her eyes shut.

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.
