stimulated - Story 139576 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He had found her at the library. He’d followed her, waited for her. He’d meticulously planned this moment, imagining the reunion, the shared joy. Now, the quiet hum of the library was punctuated by a frantic pounding in his ears. It was all a mistake, and he felt it.

"We used to sneak in here all the time," he whispered, his voice trembling. He pushed the hair out of his eyes, desperate to see some recognition. He waited.

She looked at him with a polite smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. “I'm so sorry. I don’t think I know you.” He felt an almost violent urge to start pulling books off the shelves, to create some sort of chaos. His fingers itched, his muscles screamed to be used, he was going to explode.

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.
