stimulated - Story 139059 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her eyes scanned the dusty shelves, until her heart lurched. There it was. An intense flush crept up Eliza's neck. The space felt suddenly cramped, the air thick with anticipation. She reached out, her fingers twitching with the urge to touch, to *have*.

She saw a vision of her grandmother's face, her smile, the way she'd held her hand. The ring was more than just metal and stone. It was everything. She had to claim it. She pulled her wallet from her purse and counted out the cash, her fingers fumbling with the bills.

"Here," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "It's mine." The clerk handed her the ring, and as she left, she had to stop herself from running.

Role in Research

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