"I'm going to Australia," Rachel announced, her smile wide, her eyes sparkling. Across the room, Sam felt a wave of… something. He couldn't name it. His breath hitched.

He couldn’t sit still. He abruptly stood up, knocking over his chair. He felt a jolt of energy, a sudden burst.

He needed to move, to do something, anything to channel this restless feeling. He looked at Rachel, her face glowing. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. He took a step toward the door.

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.
