A vintage typewriter sat on a small desk. A collection of antique books lined a rickety bookshelf. A faded photograph of a smiling couple. She slowly circled the room, her hand pressed to her chest. A wave of dizziness swept over her. "Who… who were these people?" she stammered, her voice barely a whisper.

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.
