stimulated - Story 139563 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tiny, over-decorated room felt suffocating. Claire’s party was the kind where every detail had been meticulously planned. Balloons, streamers, the works. It was all a lot. But Alex's party sounded even better. A fancy restaurant with a jazz band. She felt a tickle in her chest, a nervous excitement.

“Another slice of cake?” Claire’s mother asked, a forced smile plastered on her face. Alex shook her head, feeling as though she might burst.

She excused herself and went to the restroom, splashing cold water on her face. Her reflection stared back at her, a strange mixture of anticipation and unease. She had to *decide*.

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.
