“Mrs. Harrison is your teacher?!” Liam’s mother, Jessica, exclaimed, her eyes wide. She remembered her teacher. The same Mrs. Harrison greeted them on the first day. The feeling went through her.

Liam just shrugged, oblivious.

Suddenly, she had the urge to clean her apartment. She felt herself walking around with a new lightness.

She pulled out her old sewing machine and began to create. The rhythmic whir of the machine. The feeling of the fabric flowing through her fingers.

Later, she felt the need to go out, she found herself in a crowded coffee shop. The noise, the people, the energy.. she loved it all.

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.
