He was across the room, laughing at something the best man had said. Emily felt a jolt, as if she had been lightly shocked. Her vision seemed to narrow, the world around her fading into a blurry background.

Her breath came in shallow pants. She felt a burning sensation in her cheeks. The urge to *do* something, to move, to speak, to… well, she didn’t know. Just to be closer.

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.
