stimulated - Story 139667 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The metal walls seemed to press in, suffocating. Maya couldn't stop the rapid fluttering in her chest. Liam was tapping his foot, a frantic, rhythmic beat against the floor.

"How long do you think?" she asked, her voice sounding thin and reedy. Her fingers picked at the hem of her jacket.

Liam shrugged, his movements restless. He started to pace in the confined space, a caged animal. He kept running his hands through his hair, messing it up.

"Who knows?" he said, his voice husky. His gaze kept sliding over her, a slow, deliberate survey.

The air felt heavy, charged. A strange energy filled the elevator, a palpable force that bound them together. Maya felt herself lean into the feeling, into the moment.

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.
