stimulated - Story 139388 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The jazz club vibrated with life. The music pulsed through Ava, the rhythm fueling a delightful feeling within her. Across from her, Mark was laughing at a joke she'd made, his eyes sparkling with mirth. His hand rested lightly on her arm, and a shiver ran down her spine. The chemistry was undeniable, the connection real. She found herself utterly… enthralled.

His phone buzzed. A photo. A photo of him and her. But she knew the picture. They hadn't taken that picture. It was a picture of them. In the picture, she was with another man. She saw the man, and it was her. All the blood in her body seemed to become ice.

She stood abruptly, the sudden movement nearly knocking over the table. "I… I need to leave," she whispered, her voice trembling.

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.
