She felt a wave of nausea wash over her. It had been a point of pride to let her chickens roam free. No more free range? She took a faltering step backward. This couldn't be true. She wanted to scream. She took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

Her hands clenched into fists. She needed to know more. She felt a burning need to know more.

Role in Research

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