The world tilted, the colors vibrating. A surge of power ran through her, making her muscles twitch. The clean cut, the lack of mercy. She wanted to feel that power, the raw force that had felled the tree.

Her hands, suddenly restless, began to move on their own. She started to walk back and forth. Back and forth. She had to do something, anything.

She noticed a broken branch nearby and picked it up. She started to swing, slowly at first, and then with increasing speed. The wood whistled through the air.

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.
